"Ross Tiger is a traditional side-winder fishing trawler that was converted into a museum ship in 1992.

She is currently berthed in Alexandra Dock at her home port of Grimsby, close to the site of the former PS Lincoln Castle.

She forms the star attraction of North East Lincolnshire County Council's National Fishing Heritage Centre since restored and opened to the public in 1992.

As Grimsby's last traditional sidewinder 'conventional trawler', she represents a now virtually extinct breed of vessels that once made up the largest fishing fleet in the world"

"Built by Cochrane & Sons Ltd, Selby in 1957"

"ROSS TIGER is Great Grimsby's last remaining side-winder/side-trawler and serves as a memorial to those lost from the town in the most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK.

Grimsby alone lost 21 vessels between 1950 to 1957 when ROSS TIGER was built.

Due to these dangers, ROSS TIGER was designed to be the very latest in stability and safety"

The trawler to the right in Grimsby Fish Dock was the Empyrean. She was built in Goole in 1914 for the Grimsby & North Sea Steam Trawling Co. Ltd. She survived service as a minesweeper in both World Wars & was scrapped in 1962.

The trawler to the right in Grimsby Fish Dock was the Framlingham. She was built as the Rodrigo by Cochrane & Cooper of Selby in 1900 for George Sleight of Weelsby Hall. Ownership was transferred to Consolidated Fisheries in 1938 & the trawler was renamed Framlingham. The ship was broken up in Milford Haven in 1952.

Grimsby Ice Factory, which commenced production in 1901, provided the crushed ice which was required to preserve the catch in Grimsby trawlers during their lengthy journey back from the fishing grounds of the North Sea.

More ice was then needed to pack the fish for its rail journey, for Grimsby fish was widely distributed around Britain.

This photograph shows the east elevation of the factory on Gorton Street.  Conveyors carry ice across the road for direct loading onto trawlers.

The 1901 Ice Factory building has two gables on the Gorton Street elevation constructed in red brick with attractive windows, recesses, arches and other features.

The insertion of ground floor doors, a first floor window and a fire escape detract from the original fine design.

The much faded words THE GRIMSBY ICE COMPANY LTD can still be discerned between the moulded brick bands above the first floor.

The tank room on the first floor of the original Ice Factory building.

The two tanks on this floor contained more than 3000 suspended metal cans, each of which held 2 cwt (101kg) of fresh water.

Cooling was achieved by an ammonia gas expansion system powered by vertical valve compressors coupled to 600 bhp induction motors.

A view of the main compressor room which houses four vertical cylinder ammonia compressors manufactured by J&E Hall Ltd of Dartford, driven by Metropolitan Vickers 600 hp induction motors.

These were installed in 1930-34 to replace the original steam-powered plant without disruption to ice production. They are some of the largest ever made and are a unique survival.

The can-filling equipment simultaneously filled a complete row of cans with a measured quantity of water. The water came from the factory's own fresh water boreholes situated at the dock.

The row of filled cans was then pushed forward in the refrigeration tank by screw-jacks to allow space for a new row of cans which had just been returned empty from the other end of the tank.

At the end of the tank room a row of ice cans is lying in the tipping cradle where the 100 kg blocks of ice would have been emptied out onto the wooden handling platform before being sent to the crushers or for storage as blocks.

The Roxano was a white fish trawler built in 1907 by Charlton & Doughty of Grimsby.

From The Adelaide Advertiser 2 October 1901:-

"London, October 1. The Grimsby fishermen, who have been out on strike for some months against the wages paid by the steam trawling companies, and who lately became so riotous that troops had to be sent to quell the disturbances have gone back to work.

The employers have agreed to submit the dispute to be arbitrated on by the Board of Trade, and the Earl of Yarborough has induced the men to resume their employment pending the decision.

Lord Yarborough is Vice-Admiral of Lincolnshire, and in virtue of his office has much influence with the men.

The strike has been a terrible disaster to Grimsby, which is the greatest fishing town in the United Kingdom, and there is universal satisfaction expressed at the happy result of his lordship's mediation"
