Emotional send off for Hull's much loved Arctic Corsair

Hundreds of people gathered to watch as the Arctic Corsair was moved for the first time in 20 years.
The relocation of the country’s last surviving distant water sidewinder trawler signals the start of Hull’s next major, heritage-led regeneration project, which is at the heart of the city’s continuing drive to capitalise upon its spectacular success as UK City of Culture 2017.
It was an emotional day as there were cheers and tears from the crowd as she was towed down the River Hull and out towards Siemens Gamesa where she will go into temporary storage at Alexandra Dock.

I was lucky enough to have a one on one tour of the Arctic Corsair 20 years ago from a former Hull fisherman.
