Arctic Corsair

She is temporarily berthed at Alexandra Dock in Kingston upon Hull, England, pending completion of a new permanent location in the city's Museums Quarter.

The Arctic Corsair is Hull’s last surviving sidewinder trawler,[2] a type of ship that formed the backbone of the city’s deep sea fishing fleet.

[3] In September 1967 Arctic Corsair was holed on her starboard side in a collision off the coast of Scotland with the Irish collier Olive in thick fog.

With his ship holed below the waterline, and patched up temporarily by the Royal Navy, Pitts decided to head for home for permanent repairs.

STAND entered into partnership with the City Council to provide volunteers to maintain and act as tour guides.
