Note supplied by Terry Beckett: Because of post-war crew shortages (according to the trawler owners) at Milford, Yollands and probably Uglows had ships fishing from Lowestoft for some time.  Yollands also had ships fishing out of Aberdeen, Fleetwood and Hull after the war, and they were also linked to Boston Deep Sea Fisheries, the former owners of the LEEDS.
