Yes nice looking vessel - built on the Tyne of course 1972 at Swan Hunters Wallsend Yard.
A 615 Tons fully renovated fishing trawler, Jacinta was Fleetwood's most successful wet-fish trawler, and holder of the British record wet-fish landing. She was built in 1972 by J. Marr and Son ltd., and has been fully restored so that the public can see how men worked off Iceland, in all weathers.
After years at sea, her engines failed and she seemed doomed for the scrapyard. However, a group of local Fleetwood people rallied to save her and she was bought from her owners for just one pound, and was towed home to Fleetwood. She was then fitted with a new engine to enable her to go to sea and attend heritage festivals.Became Fleetwood's Heritage Trawler in 1995.
Built 1972, at Wallsend
Owned and operated by J Marr and Sons
Registered as FD159
Weight 599 gross tons
Length 142.8 feet
