- doesn't have to be hard, just interesting! And while looking for the answer I came across another interesting one:

Who mistook Burry Port for Southampton? (Clue: Realisation dawned when the pilot heard people talking in Welsh)

Answer... S.S. Great Britain ?

Quick answer - by an amazing coincidence there is a pub with the same name on Lundy

(Reminds me of a climber there once, who had been climbing in Montague Bay. When he discovered that HMS Montague had run aground there, he said "What are the odds on a ship hitting a rock with the same name then?" He wasn't being funny, he was just thick )
