The launch of the trawler ‘Rodney’ in 1957.

Rodney was built in 1957 by Cochranes of Selby for Derwent Trawlers. She was first registered at Grimsby as GY34. In 1959 she was sold to Ross Trawlers and later to Yorkshire Trawlers and then Sleight’s. In 1962, she was registered as Ross Rodney and later sold to Ross Trawlers. Ross Rodney was broken up in Hartlepool in 1980.

Selby Abbey is just visible in the background of the photo.
