The Duke by Adrian Evans

The Duke by

1979 the former Sealink passenger ferry The Duke of Lancaster was beached on the banks of the River Dee near Mostyn in North Wales.
Until it was converted into a car ferry, this was one of the finest vessels afloat.
The first class quarters in the late fifties and early sixties were the best around, silver service restaurants, state rooms and luxurious cabins.

    I can remember ‘policing’ this boat when it was a nightclub

  • thank you Kelvin, it looks much better in hdr than real life, didn’t know it used to be a nightclub – bet that was a fun ship!
