One of the Mersey Ferries is painted in dazzle camouflage -

I don't think there's much risk of it being sunk by a German U-boat, but apparently drunk scousers regularly miss it and fall in the river.

Its predecessors, Royal Iris and Royal Daffodil would have appreciated a spot of dazzle paint during their war service.  (They got the "Royal" in recognition of this)

 

Did you know, the Snowdrops dazzle scheme was designed by Peter Blake, who also created the cover art for the Sergeant Pepper lp?
