Fisherman Lou Torrington shelving haddock in the fishroom of the Grimsby trawler Ross Leopard GY491, sistership to the preserved vessel Ross Tiger GY398. Lou came to Grimsby from London with the Royal Navy during the 2nd World War to join the converted trawlers for minesweeping and anti submarine work with the Royal Naval Patrol Service. After meeting his wife in the town and his old world the victim of the Blitz, he did what the people of Grimsby did; joining his wife's brothers to fish! Lou fished from 1946 to 1974 when he retired as mate of the Thesselonian.
