I think that was the Queen Mary 2, as far as I know Maid of Ashton is still trading (under the name 'Restaurant Ship Hispaniola' as it has been for as long as I can remember) but it isn't a 'pub' like the other two...
Queen Mary 2 from waterloo bridge...
PaddleWheel:
To the casual passer by Tattershall would would not even look like a paddle steamer...I expect they'd think it was a normal ship that someone tried to make look like one. I understand why they put the big windows in, and why they converted the paddle boxes. But one the outside they should have kept the paddle vents! She'd actually look like it had paddles. And a friend of mine said the food was rubbish, they gave him a bowl of cold vegetables with his single slice of chicken!

Here is another of former PS Tattershall Castle, as the backdrop of a photo of MV Baracuda sent to me by a friend.

Tattershall Castle seems to be quite popular these last few years, since the owners of Queen Mary 2 decided to ban smoking on all areas of the ship, the QM2 now seems to be in Tilbury docks, I can just see the funnels and wheelhouse from the train on the way to work

Is anyone able to identify the other large ones?

Is that Maid of Ashton behind it?
I guess that TC has been left floating, not trading, while is jetty is repaired.
