Mincarlo, Fishing trawler museum ship in Lowestoft, England.

The Mincarlo, positioned at Heritage Quay in Lowestoft, exhibits original fishing equipment and maritime instruments from the 1960s British fishing industry.

Built by Brooke Marine in 1961, this sidewinder fishing vessel operated in the North Sea before transitioning to support offshore oil operations in 1975.

The vessel represents Suffolk's maritime heritage as the final remaining sidewinder trawler from Lowestoft's once-large commercial fishing fleet.

Visitors access the vessel free of charge at South Pier, where guides explain the functions of different deck areas and fishing mechanisms.

The Mincarlo maintains its original Lowestoft-manufactured engine, making it the last vessel with local construction and machinery from the town's shipbuilding era.
