trawlerman
Deep-sea net worker
A trawlerman is a fisherman who works on a trawler—a boat that drags large nets through the water to catch fish.
The term is primarily British and evokes the commercial fishing industry, particularly in ports like Hull and Grimsby: His father and grandfather were both trawlermen.
