NORTH END SHIPYARD PREPARES FOR ARCTIC CORSAIR

- By ANDREW SPENCE

A NEW visitor centre at the North End Shipyard is set to tell the story of the iconic Arctic Corsair.

The new site on the banks of the River Hull forms a part of the wider Hull Maritime project which also includes the redevelopment of Queen's Gardens, the Hull Maritime Museum, and the Spurn Lightship.

Despite the Arctic Corsair not being expected to arrive at its new home until next spring, the state-of-the-art visitor centre building has now been completed. The building, which will tell the story of the vessel's rich history is itself making history being the first museum to receive Passivhaus certification.
