Description: | One of a series of scenic models built at a scale of 1:96 to illustrate the different methods to catch fish from 1950 onwards. It shows the stern trawler ?Hammond Innes?, built in 1973 by Cook, Welton and Gemmel Ltd of Beverly, Yorkshire, mounted within a clear perspex waterline with the trawl set just above the seabed. It is inscribed with the port registration marks ?H180? on either side of the bow and stern indicating it fished from Hull on the East coast. This method of fishing resulted in better catches as well as increased space on board for processing the fish at sea which in turn enabled these vessels to stay at sea for longer periods of time.
