Thorne Lock with an excursion vessel. 'Wyre Lady' is something of a historic vessel, built in 1938 by Wm. Denny at Dumbarton as 'Ashton' for service on the Clyde, acting as a tender to the two Cunard Queens when they were on trials. Took her present name while based at Fleetwood but now offers excursions from her base near Doncaster.
