The Artic Corsair was saved from the breakers yard and restored to its original condition. It was built in 1960 in Beverley and you can tour the trawler seeing for yourself the life a crewman faced in the frozen Artic waters where it fished. It is now permanently moored on the River Hull between Myton Bridge and Drypool Bridge behind The Streetlife Museum.
In August 2019 the Artic Corsair was moved to a temporary new home at Alexandra Dock as there are flood defence improvements to be done. While in Alexander Dock the trawler is scheduled to undergo a major restoration and will then be moved permanently to a dry dock at North End Shipyard with a new visitor centre telling the story of the port's history.
