Liverpool's lost floating nightclub where clubbers spent 'many a good night'

Clubbers spent "many a good night" at Liverpool's lost floating nightclub that called the city home for over a decade.

Originally a converted tank landing craft LCT 7074 that started life took part in the D-Day landings in June 1944, the Clubship Landfall nightclub was moored in Salthouse Dock. In its early Liverpool years, 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.
