It's a very beautiful instrument, I read about it almost a decade ago in a music book, but I had no chance to listen it (God bless youtube!), it's a pity that they are barely played nowadays, congratulations and keep playing it!!! greetings from Mexico.

Oh,the Julia Belle Swain is a mighty fine boat
Got a mighty fine captain too
Got a big red wheel that goes around and around
And a bunch of old hippies for a crew...

@Shenandoah58 Actually that's my Dad. He worked on the DELTA QUEEN as watchman, sign painter, and calliope player from 1969-1982.

weird...a ship is an instrument???

The calliope is located on the top of the steamboat. It's not the sole purpose of the boat, which runs excursions.

So this one has its keyboard on The Texas?

Yep. The keyboard is inside the Texas cabin facing away from the manifold/whistles, which are located aft out on the same deck roof.
