Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:31 pmCopied from Ships Nostalgia regarding SIOUX. I researched her and her sisters as part of Hull Gate Shipping some years ago as they were briefly her managers when they were taken over by the Parkes group. Originally they were family owned by the same familly that owned the shipayrd at Goole and Clelends. Text is from my good mate Gil Mayes.
Sioux, Shawnee and Mohave were built by Argyle Ship & Boatbuilding Co Ltd, Renfrew for Hull Gates Shipping Co Ltd, Grimsby, a company in the Parkes set-up. As built they were 57grt on dims 22,56 x 6,71 x 3,6 (draught) with a Blackstone 6.cyl 495bhp. They were not given O.Ns.
MOHAVE (LR no.7340655) completed 1974 (Yd.No.5102) regd GY309
SHAWNEE (LR no.7340755) completed 1975 (Yd.No.5103)regd GY310
SIOUX (LR no.7360435) started by Argyle (Yd.No.5104) but after difficulties completed by J. Harker(Shipyards) Ltd (Argyle Yard), Renfrew in 1976 with some modifications and a LOA of 22,86m. Regd GY311.
From the start they were very good fishers under top skippers but could not make the grossings to keep these men in them. SIOUX initially worked out of North Shields with a Portugese skipper in command, while MOHAVE and SHAWNEE later pair trawled. In January 1977, SHAWNEE she was swamped by the incoming tide due to mackerel stowage problems, all the crew escaping. SIOUX (Sk.Norman Howe)went down in gale force winds 36 miles E of Spurn, the crew being rescued after spending the night in the liferaft, but Sk. Howe lost his life. The other two vessels were laid up pending the results of the Inquiry and were subsequently sold to Delga Fishing Co Ltd, Grimsby a Colne subsidiary and transferred to fish out of Lowestoft. I have a note that MOHAVEand SHAWNEE were chartered by William Liston Granton in June 1979 but it appears that this venture did not work out, probably for the same reasons that the Berwick built vessels failed, and they were quickly returned to Lowestoft. In 1980 both vessels were sold to France I only have a note that the SHAWNEE became the PORTHOS II.
For Bill.
As built for Hull Gates they carried that companies funnel marking - Blue with narrow black top and black letters 'FP' on a black bordered white disc.
