ABSTRACT
AMICABLE SOCIETY OF THE SEAFARING MEN OF GOOLE Formed in Feb 1881 in order to pursue a pay claim by firemen on ships working out of this port. The society may have collapsed with the failure of the campaign but may possible have merged into the Hull Seamen’s and Firemen’s Mutual Association [qv] as the secretary of the latter union negotiated a pay rise for Goole firemen in 1885.
