A true hero, RIP
Lewis Mulhearn, from Skelmersdale, and his fishing crew were caught up an explosion caused by a WWII bomb, when the crabbing gear of his vessel Galwad Y Mor disturbed the 250kg device. It detonated on the seabed 37 miles off the coast of Skegness.
Two years since his heroic actions, Lewis suddenly passed away at home on January 21. Despite saving the lives of all six of his crew, Lewis, who was born in Ormskirk and started his fishing career in Torbay, Devon, never saw himself as a hero, only someone that was doing his job. Toni said that getting the phone call from her sister-in-law was 'horrific'. She said: "All we knew was that there had been an explosion and they were being rescued. It was a horrific situation. Lewis sustained some pretty serious injuries, but he still saved his crew. He told us how he literally had one of his crew members over his shoulder and carried them down to the raft."
Toni added: "Lewis and I were born in Ormskirk, but we moved to Torbay when we were youngsters. The area is known for its fishing. Lewis started off working in a crab factory when he was a teenager. He then became a deckhand and worked his way up to being a skipper."
