About Us
The Lydia Eva and Mincarlo Charitable Trust Limited preserves 2 of Great Britains most important vessels.

Lydia Eva, The world's last herring drifter, has been saved
Lydia Eva is an important ship, not only to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft but also to the country.
She steamed back to Great Yarmouth in May 2010.
This was the first time she has taken a voyage under her own power for many years.
The successful steaming was the culmination of thousands of volunteer hours, engineering expertise from local businesses.
The Mincarlo is the last complete Lowestoft-built sidewinder trawler, with the Main engine built by AK Diesel's also of Lowestoft
