That's the DUKE OF LANCASTER - a classic passenger steamer built for British Railways in the 1956. She was converted to carry vehicles in January 1970.

This is what she looked as built:

And converted to car-carrying ferry:

One of my friend took a pic of her a few weeks ago and she still look much the same.

Duke of Lancaster was beached at high tide and then 'concreted in' at her current berth which helped to protect her from tides, and has been there for 32 years now. She's a tough old lady.

Her location can be found at Google Maps: 53Â° 18' 23.26", -3Â° 14' 8.48"

It's a shame to see the Duke where she is now...i've had a few opportunities to have a look at her. She's just a home now for car boot sale stalls etc. Having said that, it's interesting to still see a ship from that time period around.

As far as I know she's actually spent more time where she is now, than her sea going career in total.

seeing that ship must be quite annoying
