Ship to Shore Concept
Kingston upon Hull
The 'Ship to Shore Feature' is a concept designed by InterTech. The idea was to show a way of reflecting on the former fishing industry of Hull and remembering the city's lost trawlermen. The designs we have come up with focus on people; our main goal being to create a range of components that make both local people and visitors want to find out more about this arduous way of life.
Can a memorial be a place of respect, whilst allowing up and coming generations to connect with what they see? We say "yes" - and we think our designs reflect this.
Take a look at some of the design visuals.

This visual shows the steel trawler profile mounted to the quay, which offers a lower budget solution whilst still maintaining the same concept.
Visual shows further option focused on budget with a trawler profile reduced to half size.

The final result is to give the overall impression of a Hull trawler departing with a crew bound for distant fishing grounds where they would be away for a month at a time. The sad fact was that, for some Hull families, this sight would have been the very last they would have seen of their loved ones.

The prototype was laser cut from 6mm mild steel and is 1150mm long
