Delta Queen

It may almost be time to bid goodbye to the only authentic steamboat carrying passengers overnight on American waters. Fire safety laws have threatened to halt this wooden wedding cake of a vessel dating from 1926, but she's not going down without a fight. Thousands of former passengers and steamboat fans have rallied to the cause, trying to keep the Delta Queen afloat. In the meantime, the National Historic Landmark is still steaming along the Mississippi, Cumberland and Ohio rivers with a full schedule of cruises, greeted at every levee by its loving friends.
