Built in 1978 as a fire boat, the 'Cleveland Endeavour' was converted to a push tug circa 2001, when it was also renamed 'Sarah D'. Operated by Deans Tugs, the vessel is moored alongside the piers originally installed for the berthing of the trawler 'Arctic Corsair', a visitor attraction.

Humber Estuary

Part of the foreshore abutting Victoria Dock Village, Kingston upon Hull, is covered by an uneven, piecemeal layer of what would appear to be iron, evidenced by orange traces of ferric oxide. It is possible that the iron is waste material from Earle's Shipbuilding & Engineering Yard, that was based at the Humber Bank immediately to the north thereof between 1853 and 1932.

South Bridge Road, Kingston upon Hull

At No.76 South Bridge Road, the former Winding House, built 1866, the sole surviving building of the former Victoria Dock. It was designed to accommodate a coal-fired steam engine and winching mechanism to pull vessels along the former patent No.2 slipway, since converted to a pond. The building has been converted into five apartments, the work involved, inter alia, adding a new second storey. Planning permission was granted by the City Council on 13 October 2017. Victoria Dock opened 1850 and closed to commercial traffic 1970. The following year the dock, except for the half-tide basin, was filled in. In 1987 the City Council acquired the dock estate from ABP (Associated British Ports). The same year, the Council entered into a partnership with Bellway Homes Ltd to redevelop the estate for new homes, a marina, a park, playing fields, community centre, maritime museum and community school. House-building commenced in 1988.
