A "glamourous" floating nightclub remembered for its disco dancefloor and "hilarious" ticketed events welcomed Liverpool clubbers for over a decade.
Moored in Salthouse Dock, the Clubship Landfall nightclub was originally a converted tank landing craft LCT 7074 that started life in 1944 and took part in the D-Day landings in June that year. Two years later, it became the floating home of the Master Mariners’ Association of Liverpool in 1946.
But by the late 1960s, the venue took on a completely new life when business partners George 'Jud' Evans and Colin Peers bought it and transformed it into a popular nightlife venue. Clubbers would come onboard and walk through a hatch-like door to lower levels where they could grab a drink from the bar or head to the colourful dancefloor that lit up from underneath.
