TSS Duke Of Lancaster was amongst the last passenger-only steamers built for British Railways.
The Duke of Lancaster arrived in Llanerch-y-Mor, North Wales, in August 1979 to start out her new life as "the Fun Ship". However, there have been frequent legal battles with the native councils and therefore the steam owners closed the business in 2004. As a result of this, the owners "walked away".
Despite having giant amounts of its exterior paintwork lined in rust, the inside of the ship is in good shape. It had been featured within the 2011 series of BBC Two's Coast.
