![Duke of Lancaster Mostyn
TSS Duke of Lancaster is a former railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is beached at Llannerch-y-Mor Wharf near MostynDocks, on the River Dee, in north Wales. She replaced an earlier 3,600-ton ship of the same name operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway company between Heysham and Belfast.
Fun Ship
The TSS Duke of Lancaster arrived in Llanerch-y-Mor, North Wales, from Barrow-in-Furness in August 1979 to start her new life as a business venture and retail complex named the Fun Ship. Owner John Rowley saw a legal loophole whereby the venue would be able to circumvent the then Sunday trading laws, as these did not apply to ships. However, there were frequent legal battles with the local councils, and the owners closed the business in 2004 and walked away. Subsequent owners have faced similar issues.[9]
The dock built around the ship with aggregates was filled with sand to prevent drifting after the Towyn storm in the 1980s. A ferroconcrete barge was also put in place. The 1941 barge Rea 3 (No. 182422) was towed from Liverpool on 19th August 1981 as a water source for possible fire emergencies for the ship.
Today
In 2022 the ship was used as a 1957-era film set for an ITV series. However the restoration project encountered difficulties and stalled. As of early 2024 the future of the ship was uncertain. Due to illegal dumping activity near the ship, a local proposal would place vehicle barriers at the ships access road. Without emergency vehicle access the ship could not be open to the public.
