Hull Trawler Challenge

Update – two weeks on

Friday, March 13th, 2009 | updates

It’s been two weeks since the site was launched and I’ve been bowled over by the response.

Firstly, the project has had some great press coverage. There was a piece last Monday in the Yorkshire Post, and then on Wednesday evening a two-minute feature on BBC TV’s Look North programme, which is also available online. There have also been posts on blogs and specialist interest sites, and articles promised in the Weekly News, BBC Who Do You Think You Are? magazine, and Family Tree Magazine.

Through this I have also made some fabulous contacts with people who have amazing knowledge and tales to tell, and we’re hoping that some of this could be revealed in a book featuring the photographs – just have to find a publisher!

The website has had over a thousand visits, and the photos on Flickr have been averaging a combined total of about a thousand views per day!

So a huge thanks to everyone who has contributed so far, and keep an eye on the site as the story unfolds.
