Description: | Largest side-winder trawler preserved in Britain. It is berthed behind Streetlife Museum in the River Hull and is open to the public as a guided tour at a small cost to cover future maintenance.
The museum has examples of three types of small craft either unique to Hull or peculiar to Yorkshire: a Whitby Salmon Coble is one of the last of its kind to be built (1960); a Humber Gold Duster, the classic Humber waterman's boat and one of the last of its type (c.1930) and a Humber yawl (1894), built and designed by George Holmes for the Humber Yawl Club for recreational sailing on the Humber.
Vessels in the collection include the Spurn Lightship qv, a Humber Yawl, salmon coble, Humber Duster and the Arctic Corsair. They are all Hull or Humber based vessels, either working it or elsewhere; whenever possible the vessels are used in water.

An important early piece is the figurehead of the paddle steamer, Sirius, the first vessel to cross the Atlantic, east to west, entirely under steam. | Subjects: | Industry & commerce Transport Fishing (commercial) | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Queen Victoria Square
