Duke of Lancaster (Flintshires Funship)?
The Duke of Lancaster was a railway steamer passenger ship in operation in Europe from 1956 to 1978, and currently beached at Llanerch – y – Mor, on the River Dee, north-east Wales.
The Lancaster was sold to Liverpool based company who intended her to be used as a static leisure centre and market. She arrived at her new home at Llanerch-y-Mor, near Mostyn on 10 August 1979. The ship was beached. Known as "The Fun Ship", it was also possible to visit her bridge and engine room. Its use as "The Fun Ship" was relatively short-lived and was subsequently closed to the public. Over time, the vessel has become increasingly derelict.
