Duke of Lancaster

One of the last passenger-only steamers built for British Railways she worked between 1956-79. Built at Harland & Wolff, Belfast in 1956 she was used as a passenger ferry and cruise ship. She was moved to Llannerch-y-Mor on 10 August 1979 and had a short-lived use as a 'Fun Ship' howver the only road to the ship goes under the main line railway bridge which is about 6ft 6in high! At present there are plans to turn it into an open air Art Gallery hence the graffiti painted on the exterior. The interior is said to be in good condition
