The union was founded in 1923 when the Tyne Steam Packet Provident Society merged with the South Shields Steam Tugboatmen's Provident Society. It was initially known as the North East Coast Tugboatmen and Fishermen's Association.[1]

The union later renamed itself as the "United Fishermen's Union", and in 1966 it merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union.[1]
