Arctic Corsair to open for visitors next spring
BBCArctic Corsair is set to welcome visitors in its new home from next spring.
Hull's last remaining sidewinder trawler moved to the newly renovated North End Shipyard on 14 August.
It is part of the Hull Maritime project, which also includes improvements to Hull Maritime Museum, Spurn Lightship and Queen's Gardens.
Arctic Corsair, built in Beverley in 1960, was involved in the Cod Wars with Iceland in the 1970s. In 1973, it broke the world record for landing the greatest weight of cod and haddock from the White Sea, according to Hull Maritime.
The vessel was moved to a berth on the River Hull in 1998. It was rescued by Hull City Council and repairs were carried out while it was resting at Albert Dock.
Hull Maritime said the distant-water sidewinder trawler paid tribute to the thousands of men and boys from the city who never made it home during Hull's active fishing industry days.
The attraction at the North End Shipyard forms part of a redevelopment of the city's maritime quarter.
The museum opened its doors on 8 August while the Spurn Lightship reopened in March. Queen's Gardens fully reopened to the public in May.
