SCARBOROUGH, ENGLAND - AUGUST 8: George relaxes in the galley onboard The Allegiance, a 60ft trawler 200 miles into the North Sea on August 08, 1998 in Scarborough, England. The table has raised edges to stop the plates from slipping off. George, 65, is the longest serving member of The Allegiance and has worked the trawlers since the age of 15. The future has since become extremely bleak for the English Trawlermen. Huge areas of the North Sea have been declared off limits and fishing quotas have been slashed in an attempt to rescue dwindling North Sea stocks from the point of extinction. These measures have jeopardised the jobs of those in the industry and put dependent towns, like Scarborough, on the brink of ruin. (Photo by Peter Dench/Getty Images)
