This is the Duke of Lancaster ship. She is moored in a dry dock just outside of Mostyn in North Wales. She actually looks as though she is about to run aground into the fields and road. She is an amazing site just in the middle of nowhere as it were, and I have a real soft spot for her. I was lucky enough to go on a cruise on her identical sister ship the Duke of Argyle in the 80's.
Sadly she is falling into a very bad state of repair as you can see. ALthough there is now a friends group who intend to help the owner repair her. And believe it or not, someone does actually live aboard to keep an eye on her. She was built by Harland And Wolff who built the Titanic, although some low life has been on board and stolen her makers plate.
I didnt manage to get too close to her on this visit, but did get a couple. I have left the trees in this one a I like they way its hiding her.
