The Duke of Lancaster is a railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is currently beached near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, north-east Wales. It replaced an earlier 3,600 ton ship of the same name operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway company between Heysham and Belfast.
The Lancaster was sold to Liverpool based company Empirewise Ltd, 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 brought into a permanent dock and the hull was sealed — not in concrete, as is commonly thought, but surrounded by a large tonnage of sand pulled out of the Dee estuary. Known as "The Fun Ship", it was also possible to visit her bridge and engine room. Conversion for use as a 300-room hotel did not appear to go beyond the preliminary planning stage. Its use as "The Fun Ship" was relatively short-lived and it was subsequently closed to the public because access to the ship is via a bridge under the North Wales railway line, which is too low for emergency vehicles. Over time, the vessel has become increasingly derelict.
The ship was later used as a warehouse by its owners Solitaire Liverpool Ltd, a clothing company registered to the same address as Empirewise Ltd. Despite rumours that the ship would be scrapped, the company stated that they have no plans either to sell it or to restore it and its current use is uncertain.
Despite having large amounts of its exterior paintwork covered in red-leading, the interior of the ship is in very good condition. It was featured in the 2011 series of BBC2's Coast.
This was my first night testing out my new D750 + 50mm 1.4 lens, and first time shooting here in Durham. I love the new camera setup and this location...24 degrees was super cold, but had a lot of fun exploring new areas.

From Wikipedia:
"The Duke of Cornwall Hotel is a hotel in the city of Plymouth, Devon, England. It opened in 1865 to cater for the increasing number of travellers who were coming to the region by rail and sea.
"The hotel survived the World War II Plymouth Blitz without damage, and was the venue for regular functions throughout the war. In the 1970s and early 1980s it was threatened with closure but, helped by poet laureate John Betjeman's praise for its architecture, it was saved by a major refurbishment."
The Bethany Choraliers with artistic direction by Ann Fredrickson and musical direction by Dennis Marzolf presented their annual lyric opera offering, The Grand Duke by Gilbert and Sullivan.
It was performed in the Sigurd K. Lee Theater of the Ylvisaker Fine Arts Center on the campus of Bethany Lutheran College. Performances were held on January 31, February 1, 2, 7, and 8, 2014.
