The Rinovia Steam Fishing Company

At our recent Trawlermen event, we were approached by Tony Chatterton, the grandson of Lionel Chatterton, who was Head of W H Thickett, a subsidiary of the Rinovia Steam Fishing Company. He kindly sent us an audio recording of Lionel giving a speech at the annual company dinner at the Winter Gardens in 1950. We've added some information, photographs and newspaper clippings about the Rinovia Steam Fishing Company, courtesy of an article that appeared in the Grimsby Telegraph last year and also the British Newspaper Archives.
