    The instant I found out that the DQ would be in Pittsburgh, I knew I had to go to town to see her.When I saw the DQ, it was so amazing! I went to see her four other times, and each was a treasured memory. I will miss going to see her every month. I will miss hearing her sweet music and steam whistle.

Delta Queen, American Queen at Helena, Arkansas

Nov 4, 2008

Ken McRae from Little Rock, Arkansas, sent this beautiful picture from the Delta Queen just after passing the Helena, Arkansas, Mississippi River bridge on the evening of November 1, 2008. Doesn’t she look like a brand new vessel in this wonderful evening sunlight? Hey, Congress, she’s not ready to go, don’t you see this?
