About Me'Sputnik' was a nickname the Aberdeen trawler crews gave to a type of vessel. The name derived from the Soviet satellite that had circled the earth in 1957 and which sparked the 'Space Race' of the 1960's. This event coincided with the arrival of the new form of motor trawler to replace the ageing steam fleet.
