I have been on the Delta Queen, and will be for the Great Steamboat races this year. I am a Southern lady and my family has been in this country since the middle 1600's. The Delta Queen is the only surviving authentic steamboat in the world that is still on America's rivers. She is the very lifeblood of my Southern Heritage and OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE! She must NOT be swept away like so much other American history. She IS SAFE ! At any point in time, she can pull over to the river's edge, drop the gangplank and off her passangers go. No other boat can do that. All her cabins open to the outside decks. She is our Heritage. If she is taken off the rivers, we should just as well tear down the statue of Liberty, or tear down Montecello. The Delta Queen Is equal to them in status as a "National Historic Landmark". How can we allow this???? To take the Delta Queen off the rivers will be a National Travesty ! I have been on the Delta Queen, and will be for the Great Steamboat races this year.
