A total of 6,000 Hull men had lost their lives at sea but this tragedy seemed particularly hard to take. Everyone in Hull knew somebody affected by the terrible losses.
The sinkings prompted safety campaigns with the now famous Headscarf Revolutionaries spearheading calls for better protection for their husbands, fathers and sons.
Today, is also day we remember those who suffered because of the silence of many. #HolocaustMemorialDay 2018, we remember the 6 million Jews and others murdered by the Nazis, and victims of subsequent genocides
