Heritage Open Day: Three restored boats on Beverley Beck: visits, tours and boat trips on Mermaid Moored on Beverley Beck are three boats restored by the Beverley Barge Preservation Society which will be open to the public. The largest is the ‘Sheffield’ size barge Syntan, built by the Hepworth shipyard at Paull in 1949 for Richard Hodgsons Tannery and used for transporting tanning materials from Hull docks to the wharf on Beverley Beck. Sun is a former maintenance vessel built in 1960 by Camplings of Goole and is used for charters and public day trips upstream on the River Hull. Mermaid is an ex-Trinity House tender built in Korea in 1986 and used for training and trips along Beverley Beck.
