A floating restaurant is a vessel, usually a large steel barge, used as a restaurant on water. The Jumbo Kingdom at Aberdeen in Hong Kong is an example. 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. Anotherexample is the train ferry Lansdowne, which served as a restaurant in Detroit. Plans for the Lansdowne to continue in this capacity on the Buffalo, New York waterfront came to naught and she was scrapped in the summer of 2008. A thirdexample of a ship 's hull converted for this purpose is Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant in Toronto, which was located on the MS Jadran, a former Yugoslavian ship but has since been closed and scrapped. The Normac, the firstCaptain John's restaurant, was moved to Port Dahousie as the floatingcocktail lounge Big Kahuna and is now the Riverboat Mexican Grill.
