We have a dry-dock boat that has been turned into a pub in the nearby city of Leeds - doesnt look as good as this though! Excellent capture Tara!

Won't get very far that way. A great idea and a real must see. Wonderful capture. I wonder if the employees dress as sailors?

That's pretty cool, Tara! Great find! This reminds me of the scene in Close Encounters of The Third Kind where they found a cargo ship sitting in the middle of the desert. You find the neatest stuff!

Oooh, I love this. The idea that a boat can be a gift shop is amazing...I have to say though, that the Czech Republic isn't too far behind us. There's an airplane (some kind of decommissioned military plane I can't remember the make of) that has been landed in a field and turned into a bar. It's not a roadside attraction, but it DOES attract people to the town. Anyway, that's a ramble, but this shot made me think of that! I love it, by the way. This is the kind of stuff that makes you pull over and shop for gifts!
