Teams of knitters from across the North East will send a special fishing boat along

Teams of knitters from across the North East will send a special fishing boat along the east coast to celebrate the " unsung heroines" of the fishing trade.
Follow the Herring will retrace the steps of fish gutters and packers who followed the herring fleets every year from Scotland to the Kentish coast.
The " herring lassies" - who could still be spotted in North Shields in the 1960s - were up at the crack of dawn to gut, salt, sort and pack at a speed of 60 herring a minute.
