CAMPAIGNERS staged a four-mile trek across the Humber Bridge and back today to raise funds to honour the “Headscarf Revolutionaries” whose action saved the lives of hundreds of trawler workers.

In 1968, Hull suffered the “Triple Trawler Tragedy,” when in just a few weeks, three fishing vessels sank with the loss of 58 lives.

Health and safety protections on trawlers were almost non-existent at the time and one of those that sunk had no radio.
