Grimsby trawlers Hekla or Katherine Jean - any info on them?

[Katherine Jean or Hekla]

Hi

My grandfather worked on the Hekla, his name was Andreas Oggmundson; he also owned the Katherine Jean. He sailed from Grimsby but then changed to Fleetwood.

Any information regarding him or the boats would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Julie
