On this day, 4 February 1968, the Ross Cleveland fishing vessel from Hull, England, sank, killing all but one of its 19 crew. It was the third such tragedy in just a few days, and led to a powerful direct action campaign by fishermen’s wives, dubbed the Headscarf Revolutionaries, which rapidly won health and safety improvements in the industry. This book review contains a short account of their movement: https://libcom.org/history/headscarf-revolutionaries https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1644894289029048/?type=3
