Suspicions Mount
Relatives of the crew were thus reluctant to accept the investigation findings because Gaul was one of the most modern ships in the UK fishing fleet - she was only 18 months old. In 1975 a TV programme claimed she had been sunk while engaging in espionage and over the years other theories, including conspiracy theories, have been advanced:
- She was captured and interred by the Soviet Union because she was engaged in espionage.
- She was sunk by a Soviet submarine for the same reason.
- She collided with a submarine engaged in clandestine operations.
- She was dragged under after snagging her trawling gear in secret undersea cables (SOSUS).
