@baritonebynight You will have a long wait since it requires an act of Congress to get the Delta Queen Back in service, exempting it from SOLAS regulations. Not going to happen.

@sgtmiller278cav I'll wait until the Delta Queen is back in operation until I pull out my checkbook.

The AMERICAN QUEEN no longer operates on the river. Her operator Majestic America LIne folded in November of 2008 and she is in Beaumont TX at a Reserve Fleet awaiting disposition. It has been reported she is available for $15M USD. If you want her, go get her. Yes, this wheel IS steam-powered. However, it could only move the boat in pool water. In a current situation, her Azmuthing Drives ("Z" Drives) are the main propulsion. The engines came from the USCOD Dredge KENNEDY, 1600BHP tandem

@theshipman The engines in American Queen were from a Corps of Engineers dredgeboat.Even so,they weren't strong enough to move the boat,especially on the Lower and had to have jet pumps(like in a PBR) to overcome the current.

I had the honor of taking a 3 day trip on the American Queen. People don't realize that wheel is so huge. The thing is 30 feet tall and a beauty to watch in motion. Thanks for the video. Awesome memories.

I love the sight of that wake being throwen back to the river, I'll bet it takes every bit of 2000 horse power to move that wheel. Correct me if I'm wrong.
