Peter Ince slipped his moorings in 1998. He had been a fisherman for most of his life, sailing for the Boston Deep Sea Fisheries Co.Ltd. The decline of the fishing industry and a knee injury sustained off Iceland put an end to his trawling career. He was Bosun for as long as I can remember, colour blindness prevented him from rising any further.
