Hundreds of people attended a special ceremony to mark the 60th anniversary of the lives lost on a Lowestoft fishing trawler has taken place.
All nine of the crew on the Boston Pionair were lost at sea when a storm took their lives north of the Dogger Bank in the North sea on 14th February 1965.
A memorial plaque was unveiled on the town's South Pier as part of a ceremony on Thursday (6th February) to remember the crew members who lost their lives when the Boston Pionair was lost at sea.
The Boston Pionair, under the hand of skipper Brian Moyse, left Lowestoft on 6th February 1965. When no word was heard from the crew on 14th February, a large-scale search operation was conducted in the North Sea before the boat and its nine-strong crew were pronounced lost at sea.
Lowestoft Town Council hosted the event along with South East England Fisherman's Mission. The United Reformed Church, London Road North, provided refreshments beforehand - and there was a display from Lowestoft's Maritime Museum.
