Comments on: US Senators, we need your help to save the Delta Queen! http://www.save-the-delta-queen.org/senators-help-saving-the-delta-queen/ A private initiative to save the steamboat Delta Queen Wed, 03 Aug 2011 23:59:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gernot Hirsinger http://www.save-the-delta-queen.org/senators-help-saving-the-delta-queen/comment-page-1/#comment-336 Gernot Hirsinger Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:51:02 +0000 http://www.save-the-delta-queen.org/?p=82#comment-336 "Fire Hazard" because of wooden construction is a laugh, considering that a major proportion of US domestic housing is of wood! If this is an argument for moving her to a museum, then the same could be applied to request millions of US citizens to move out of their homes and tear them down. Even here in Germany, where most private homes are of brick, the internal furnishings, floors, ceilings etc. include a lot of wood. As an enthusiast of ships in general and one who has experienced and enjoyed river cruises, my opinion is: as long as the boilers stand up to inspection, the hull is sound and the crew adequately skilled, the ship should be allowed to continue operating!

I have written (again) to all the senators on your list. Nice that these are senators looking to be elected again. One exception, John Warner R-VA is retiring at the end of the current term. Hi,
