The steam trawler Iranian was built by Cook, Welton & Gemmell in 1911, during the Great War she was taken up by the Admiralty and used as an anti-submarine trawler and as an auxiliary patrol vessel again in the Second World War. She was returned to her owners in Dec. 1941 and returned to fishing. On January 12, 1944 the thirty-three year old vessel left Grimsby for the last time and headed for the fishing grounds off Hornsea. Due back on or around the 20th, the Iranian did not appear. The trawler and her twelve crewmen were never seen again. The cause of her loss in still unknown as to the best of my knowledge the wreck has not been identified to this day. |
