Duke of Lancaster

The Duke of Lancaster arrived at her new home in Mostyn on 10 August 1979 and has remained there ever since, beached (actually 'concreted in') off the River Dee and in an increasingly derelict state. Her intended use as a leisure centre and market was relatively short-lived - she was known as 'The Fun Ship' and it was possible to visit the engine room and bridge as well as the market.

It has been closed to the public for years and is now used as a warehouse.

What a shame
