Hi List,

wonder if anyone can help or point me in the right direction,

I'm trying to find a list of all the Hull Trawlers and their crew members
names involved in the so called "Russian Outrage" of 21th October 1904.
This was when, during the Russo-Japanese war the (nervous) Russian Navy
patrolling in the North Sea fired on the Hull Boxer Fleet, mistaking them
for Japanese Torpedo Boats, allegedly.

My Grandfather, William Semper was the Skipper of one of the boats and
I would love to know which one.

Regards,

Barry Lyons (ex Royal Navy)
