Arctic Corsair01482 300306workMuseumThe Arctic Corsair is now closed for refurbishment as part of the exciting Hull:Yorkshires Maritime City project https://maritimehull.co.uk/ the ship will move to the new location at the North Shipyard upon completion of the work.
The Arctic Corsair was built in 1960 at Beverley Shipyard for the Boyd Line, and was the last of the Hull side fishing vessels or 'side winders'. She had a long and successful career despite the decline of the local fishing industry after 1975. A veteran of the Cod Wars, the Arctic Corsair was rammed by an Icelandic gun boat in the 1970s. After a lay-up of seven years she achieved a record breaking return to fishing in 1986 before being finally laid up in the winter of 1987. The vessel opened to the public in 1999 and has since attracted in excess of 20,000 visitors.
