Technically its a sternwheeler, the wheel is in the back, it was built that way because it was an updated version of another sternwheeler of the same name, so when the Original Portland was retired, this one took its place.
Horns are air powered.Whistles are steam powered.In the Rules of the Road,whistles are defined as any powered sound making device used for signalling ebtween vessels,whether steam or diesel powered. Just saying.
@rylan1225 Still called the Portland, Was built in 1947 as a tugboat. was retired in 1981. now it's the home of the Oregon Maritime Museum, and is used for occasional river cruises.
I just now relized that i found this on a play list called "Mississippi riverboat queens". And i figured i would just let everyone know who might be watching this, and whoever doesn't know, and cares. This is in Portland Oregon, nowhere near the Mississippi river. Just FYI lol.
