Paddocks Fri, 14 Sep 2007 18:37:02 +0000 http://www.save-the-delta-queen.org/good-news-coverage/#comment-39 As a resident of Jeffersonville, Indiana for more than 50 years and a resident River Rat I cannnot imagine not seeing this beautiful boat pass my home. The annual Steamboat race with the Belle of Louisville is a step back into a time the now generation has no knowledge of. There is not a more festive sight than to see this wonderful boat chugging up the Ohio River to participate in the activities of the Derby. Let's do all we can do to save this grand lady .

While living for 12 years in Memphis overlooking the Miss. River, the DQ often docked, and was a sight to see! Now I live on the Tenn. River where the DQ regularly comes by...always a thrill...sometimes at night with the ship all aglow in lights, sometimes during the day, when we've jumped in our boat and followed along side of it....always in awe of it's beauty, grace,a and slendor. I want to be a passenger one day...please don't let my days be numbered!! Save the Queen !!!!! Please save the beautiful,historic Delta Queen!!

The Delta Queen has a clean record as far as safety and just because it was built out of wood by no means gives congress the right to take this historical beauty away from the public. The children growing up today will not enjoy the beauty and historical past by dry docking this ship only so that people can tour it. It is a historical ship still in great running order not to mention the fun and excitement gained from traveling on a ship of this kind. I have seen this ship docked temporarily on the Ohio in Evansville, IN and it is a beauty. PLEASE RECONSIDER BEFORE TAKING THIS SHIP OUT OF SERVICE!
