Summary

Grimsby Trawlers- Everyday Life With the Fishermen, Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, UK, 1945

On board the SS RIGHTO, a fishing trawler operating from Grimsby in Lincolnshire, the Third Hand, J W Barber, ties the codend (the tapered end of the net where the fish is held), as the skipper, 67-year-old George Burgess, examines the catch. The original caption states that "if he is not getting the fish he wants he will move to fresh grounds". A third crew member can also be seen on deck.

The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
