Rare historic ship returns to Lowestoft roots

A rare fishing vessel built in Lowestoft 138 years-ago has returned to the town after a century away.

The Nordlys "convertor smackā€ is believed to be the only remaining ship of its type in the world.

Restorers now hope to transform her into a state-of the art sail-powered research vessel.
