Hundreds of spectators lined both banks of the River Hull and bridges between Drypool bridge and the mouth of the river to see the Arctic Corsair H320, the city's remaining sidewinder trawler, leave its mooring alongside the Museums Quarter.

After more than 20 years as a floating museum at this location, the trawler is to undergo restoration and conservation work at ABP's Alexandra Dock before being relocated to its new home at North End Shipyard in 2020 as the centrepiece of a new maritime heritage attraction.

The trawler was towed along the river and the Humber estuary by the tugs Shovette and Lashette, accompanied by the tug Gillian Knight and barge Jade Lift.

On 29 February 1960, the trawler was launched and began her long fishing career. Built in Beverley for the Boyd Line, the Arctic Corsair had a career that included a world-record catch and a collision in the Cod Wars.
