@acoustics101 The freakin' feds should leave the DQ alone and let her cruise where ever she wants...I miss the days when she came to Louisville...Stupid law.

Make shure to have your speakers cranked up as far as theyll go! its one of the most beautiful sounds in the world!

@acoustics101 Oberstar is now out of office....hopefully the Queen will return to the river soon and cease being a hotel.

The Belle has a three-whistle chime, deep and magnificent. The Queen has a single-bell chime, 10" Lunkenheimer. I like the Queen's whistle the best! I was given free rein on the Belle's calliope to blow various RR whistle chords when I sailed on her. Kinda funny to hear a river boat blowing rule 14L's with 6-chime whistles!
The Belle of Louisville is one of the few remaining riverboats with a real whistle. It's rival, the Delta Queen, which also has a whistle and calliope is again being threatened for a second time in 37 years by the "Safety at Sea" law, which almost scrapped it in 1970. This should not happen to our national treasures.
