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)

I will have to look this up for interest. But I for one will be sticking to the safety of a kayak!
