Love it!

 

I mean, I don't love it, it's awful, but I love the fact that 'floating follies' like this exist.

Because she was one of a few 'themed' boats used as floating accommodation in Liverpool. Are the other boats for sale too?

The info says that it sleeps up to 9 in 3 bedrooms. Does this tell us something about its usage?

What happened to the U boat? Rename this one Lusitania and have hours of fun.

[Laurie Booth]

Actually I think it is worth the money, as a B&B should do well. I would have to add two more funnels though.

A nice touch is the build date of 2012.

Yep only two funnels

There are some people with strange ideas in this world. There is a full size replica of Titanic being built in China which will be repeatedly be crashed into an iceberg as part of a Theme Park experience!

Another full size replica Titanic was also planned to sail as a cruise ship world wide using the original plans, incorporating modern technology for safety, but these plans have now been abandoned.

Is there a third?

 

 

 

Now, with the Yellow Submarine open for business, the 53-year-old will turn his attentions to developing Titanic and Black Pearl - the ship in Pirates of the Caribbean - into two more floating hotels.

I believe that the "u-boat" was a Liverpool attraction before it came to Leeds.

Well don't be surprised when you look the fool for posting something that has already been mentioned. Christ, all I did was point out that it was posted before!
