Hull has a long history connected to the sea as I am sure most of you know 
And that history is both related to shipping and fishing in fact Hull used to be home to the UK largest fishing fleet before the Cod wars with Iceland devastated the UK fishing industry but what I want to talk about is an older story from Hull fishing past 
From 1904 
The Russian outrage @ dogger Bank which cost 3 fisherman their lives when a Russian fleet mistook the fishing (From Hull The Gamecock fishing fleet,)  boats for Japanese torpedo boats and fired upon them despite still been over 20000 miles from Japan at the time 

The two nations were at war at the time 

The trawler crane was sunk   

on The corner of the Boulevard and Hessle road Hull


  

The incident nearly lead to war between Britain and Russia


The disaster of 21 October began in the evening, when the captain of the supply ship Kamchatka (Камчатка), which was last in the Russian line, took a passing Swedish ship for a Japanese torpedo boat and radioed that he was being attacked. Later that night, during fog, (so reduced visibility ) the officers on duty sighted the British trawlers, interpreted their signals incorrectly and classified them as Japanese torpedo boats, despite being more than 20,000 miles (30,000 km) from Japan. The Russian warships illuminated the trawlers with their searchlights and opened fire. The British trawler Crane was sunk, and its captain and first mate were killed. Four other trawlers were damaged, and six other fishermen were wounded, one of whom died a few months later. As the trawlers had their nets down, they were unable to flee and, in the general chaos
The Russian even fired upon their own ships mistaking them for Japanese war ships killing 2 
The total death toll was 5

The Next hidden thing :

Hull Medieval walls (with the two following exceptions all gone Beverley gate and a small section in East park)

You can still trace where the walls stood:
They ran from the River Hull to the Humber

• North walls behind Hull college still bears the walls name follow it  till it meets wilberforce drive now walk along the old docks (Queens Gardens, Prince's dock and Hull marina ) until you hit the Humber you have followed the path of the old walls (and talk time to admire wilberforce monument older than Nelson's column in London and said to be the inspiration Wilberforce monument once stood close to Beverley gate not that at that time it was dug out)
• The only physical remains of the walls is Beverley gate  near Prince's dock 
• The town's old city centre docks where the reason the walls where removed 
• It is worth noting that all the land at the Marina after the building the old ropery was in the medieval period in the Humber and was later reclaimed 
• so Techincal once you pass that point in the Medieval Hull you would have been swimming for example the land where the Cdi building is on was Hull Water gate

The hidden things

How about the Second Dock office ?
Well I bet few of you known a we had 3 dock offices ( in the days of the town docks , the ones in the city centre ) and I also bet you don't know the second one still stands but where is it?
It is behind Hull college near the discussed dry dock / Original entrance to Queens dock ( Hull's first enclosed dock and at the time the UK largest at 10 acres ) ( also where the Bounty was built )

The site of the first town dock's office latter replaced by the pictured second dock office
