History

TERRIER was built as a Harbour Launch in 1954 on the River Clyde. She is Iroko on oak, carvel built with Douglas fir deck beams. The builder is unknown. In 2012, she was purchased by IBTC Lowestoft, who restored the vessel and converted her into a water taxi in Lowestoft Harbour.

After falling into disuse, she was purchased by the current owner and transported to Hull Marina, where she was completely refurbished and refitted.

Update, July 2024: Vessel for sale.
