History
The Pearl of the Dane was built as the Danish fishing trawler Limanda in 1974.[2]
In 1996 the Limanda was bought by in Anglesey by a Congleton businessman.[2]
The Limanda was transported to Congleton in September 1996,[2] however to the size of the ship only the hull was transported to Congleton.[3]
A soeical dry dock was built in Congleton for the Limanda to be docked at.[1]
Keeping with the theme of seafood the structure around the hull was converted to resemble a 1920s steamboat.[1][3]
The orignal planned name of restaurant was the Congleton Steamboat.[2]
The Pearl of the Dane opened in the late 1990s and was successful in its first year of operation.[1]
The success of the Pearl of the Dane did not last long.[3]
In the past the former restaurant has been subject of vandalism.[1]
There have been plans in the past to reopen the restaurant,[3] but these plans have never come to anything.
