Ross Tiger is a traditional side-winder fishing trawler that entered service in February 1957 & was later converted into a museum ship in 1992. She is currently berthed in Alexandra Dock at her home port of Grimsby and is a listed member of the National Register of Historic Vessels, with certificate number 621. NB: moored alongside the Ross Tiger is fishing vessel The Esther (1888-1991) that was brought back to Grimsby from the Faroe Islands by the borough council in 1992, as part of their museum initiative. Sadly The Esther has subsequently fallen into disrepair and is partially submerged.

This once proud vessel is now sinking into the mud due to council incompetence, she has a rich history of fishing and used as a spy ship during the cold War but now is left to rot away outside of the fishing heritage centre. This fine vessel will be sold as scrap if nothing is done soon.

We just had time to take the tour of this old trawler. It's an interesting and unusual experience. If you get the chance to look around and if you are able to go up and down steep steps. Then give it a go.

From a large fishing family and had a brother who sailed aboard the Ross Tiger so finally went on the tour.absolutely fascinating. Ex Skipper gave a fascinating account of what it was like for the fishermen on a daily basis. Should have done this tour years ago. And to find that he knew at least 2 of my 4 brothers who fished was a bonus. Would highly recommend this.

You get guided tour to see inside this magnificent fishing vessel when you visit the Fishing Heritage Centre.

Very good museum, and the Ross Tiger trawler which is moored there in Alexandra Dock is fascinating
