London has its own version of the 'Duck'.

On the same theme of local oddities here's another way to get across water using wheels.

Belfast has the ducks too. And Boston. They aren't as parochial as you thought, Dmitri!

Cool tractor.
Well, I suspected other people might have them, KB. But Philly's the only place I ever saw them. And I did a double-take the first time I saw a swimming bus.
Where do Boston and Belfast run theirs? In rivers, I'm assuming, not around the harbours? I wonder whose Ducks have the biggest rivers to run in. This would be interesting to know.
Bel's got me thinking about boating, see? She sent us a link to a film of 'Three Men in a Boat', and we got to talking about river sightseeing.
