Built by Cook, Welton and Gemmell in Beverley for Boyd Line, Hull. Registration number H320. The Arctic Corsair was Hull’s last surviving deep-water sidewinder vessel. In 1973 held the record for catch of cod and haddock from the White Sea. In 1976 the Arctic Corsair rammed the Icelandic patrol vessel “Odin” which had tried three times to cut the trawler’s nets. She is currently undergoing repair in readiness to take her place as a major attraction in the Hull: Yorkshire’s Maritime City project.
