Ship that sailed the Irish Sea brought back to life for Zombie experience

Zombies are quite frightening fictional creatures.  Dead people who have been brought back to life, but lose any of their old humanity. Popular in horror and fantasy genre works, they are often depicted attacking and eating human beings. Taking advantage of this fascination with the Zombie phenomana is the Zombie Infection company. They have decided to bring the TSS (Turbine Steam Ship) Duke of Lancaster back to life so that visitors can encounter the undead. The former passenger ferry used to sail between Heysham and Belfast in the 50s and 60s. Then between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire before it was retired in 1978.

TSS Duke of Lancaster was grounded in the Dee estuary, Flintshire, in 1979, but has been unused since the mid-1980s. The ship is currently beached near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, in north-east Wales. The Zombie Infection company intend to start running events on the ship in January. Those  visiting the ship will be able to try their hand at tackling actors dressed as zombies, with the aim of stopping a "virus and saving humanity". More information can be obtained from their website. 

The ship has quite a reputation for having a bit of a spooky atmosphere. Ghost hunts are advertised and more information on this can be obtained from the TSS Duke of Lancaster facebook page.
