A Hawian legislator object? What business is this if his? How much UNION MONEY is behind these civil servants opostition?

Alot,and that is the true issue,UNION OPPOSITION,screw the union.

The American Queen is also steam driven. Her propellers, or "z-drives", as they are called, are used to maneuver in and out of port, but her paddlewheel provdies the Queen with genuine steam power.

That was the Mississippi Queen, built in 1975 I think. At least it was a steam powered ship. The modern American Queen built in 1995 which has a steam paddlewheel (for looks mostly) but is diesel propeller driven is now being returned to serivice. I wish that they could scrap the modern propeller driven American Queen to put this money into returing the Delta Queen.

I'd rather see the Delta Queen burn and sink and be lost forever vs make her a permanent hotel with no chance of operating again. I say the propeller driven American Queen be sold for scrap to return the Delta Queen to the river.

[Dolphindream15]

is the fight still on are there any more updates on the delta queen  I hope so she needs to return to the river where she belongs,,,

This law turns the Coast Guard into a bunch of bureaucrats instead of the brave seamen they are. Let them continue saving lives in our coastal waters and get them OFF the rivers.

[doughesson]

Yeah,there's a lot of contention between river mariners and the Coast Guard.The short version is that a lot of people wish they'd just go back to the coast and guard that. Most of my license exams were more geared to ocean going vessels than they were to river towboats.

Much like her sister ship the Delta King in Sacramento. (Delta King Hotel)

[richhauser]

Wow! Yet another example of our elected representatives NOT listening to our requests. 80 years of no fatal incidences, ingenious high-tech upgrades that preserve the historical essence of this magnificent vessel and make it safe especially given it's river environment. Let's see if our "representatives" will actually represent our requests to Save The Delta Queen!!
