The complex operation yesterday marked the end of the vessel’s sailing life and was moved and berthed through close coordination between multiple agencies, bridge operators and maritime specialists, ensuring the move was carried out safely and smoothly.
The move has taken place following an extensive restoration by local ship repair company, Dunston Ship Repairs.
With the trawler now in place in the dry-dock at North End Shipyard, the next phase of work will focus on installing the walkways and bridges that will physically connect the visitor centre to the Arctic Corsair.
These access structures are a vital step before the attraction can open to the public.
Here are some of the best pictures from the Arctic Corsair’s move.
