National Historic Ships UK acknowledges the financial support of its sponsors
The Scottish Fisheries Museum is a national museum which tells the story of the Scottish fishing industry, its boats, harbours and communities. As a Shipshape Scotland Hub, the museum offers a range of activities and services available to local historic vessel owners, skilled craftsmen, businesses, heritage organisations, training bodies and maritime enthusiasts.
The museum has a large collection of vessels, three of which are listed as part of the National Historic Fleet: Reaper, a restored Fifie sailing herring drifter; Research, the sole surviving large zulu, a first class herring drifter; and ring net boat Lively Hope. Other vessels within the collection are included on the National Small Boat Register.
