Floating Restaurant
A floating restaurant is a vessel, usually a large steel barge or hulk, used as a restaurant on water. The ''Jumbo Kingdom'', formerly located at Aberdeen in Hong Kong, was at one time the world's largest floating restaurant, until it sank at sea in 2022. Sometimes retired ships are given a second lease on life as floating restaurants. The former car ferry ''New York'', built in 1941, serves as DiMillo's in Portland, Maine. Another example is the train ferry , which served as a restaurant in Detroit. Plans for ''Lansdowne'' to continue in this capacity on the Buffalo, New York waterfront came to naught and it was scrapped in the summer of 2008. A third example of a ship's hull converted for this purpose is Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant in Toronto, which was located on MS ''Jadran'', a former Yugoslavian ship but has since been closed and scrapped. ''Normac'', the first Captain John's restaurant, was moved to Port Dahousie as the floating cocktail lounge ''Big Kahuna'' a ...
