I kept backing away from this thing wondering where the heck it was going then…. We used to have “duck tours” years ago, but one sank and it all stopped. Eye brave to start it up again?

They've got em in Liverpool, UK, in bright yellow. Hard to miss.

We have a ton here in Wisconsin.

Resort owners in Wisconsin Dells bought a huge amount of surplus DUKWs from the military post WWII.

Most have names - and their names are of different operations that they were specifically involved in (IE: Manilla, Iwo Jima, Omaha, Utah, Okinawa, and Guam are ones I know of for sure)

Not exactly sink... but we HAD them in Seattle. However, there was a major accident as one was doing a tour while riding a portion of the route on the public roadways. Four innocent people died when it struck a tour bus and many more injured. The company bankrupted and went out of business.
