The Fun Ship

The TSS Duke of Lancaster was a railway steamer come passenger ship that operated in Europe between 1956 to 1979. But the former steamer has spent the last 30 years rusting away by the North Wales coast -

Throughout the early 80s it was used as a bar and market space called ‘The Fun Ship’ before closing down. Since then, The Duke of Lancaster’s hull has attracted graffiti artists from around the world.

Eight paintings have been added to date, including paintings by Hungarian Mr Zero, French artist GOIN and Fin DAC from Ireland.

Other artworks are the handiwork of street art collective called DuDug - a wordplay on the Welsh for black duke – who want to turn The Duke of Lancaster into an open-air gallery.
