The story covered trawlers fishing in the North Sea. Evidently the day Hardy and his team boarded the ship, the conditions were particularly brutal.
Recounting the adventure in Bert Hardy: My Life. (Gordon Fraser, 1985) Hardy writes:
'The boat did everything but turn over. We slept at night in cupboards around the walls of the tiny little cabin, listening to the rats scuttling along the bulkheads above us.'
The story of this voyage is recounted in Bert Hardy: My Life. (Gordon Fraser, 1985) p. 48-49.
