There is no pattern. The Delta Queen has a steel hull, double one, actually. Most of her superstructure is wood, but she is equupped with a modern fire suppression system, has military grade heat rise detectors. You are safer on board than you are in your own home, especially asleep. Does your home have a 24 hour watchman consantly checking every deck? No?? The DQ does (or did--AUGH!)! Write your congressman and senators NOW, we need the DQ back on the river--save 200 American jobs at no cost!

Great cruise ship that I miss hearing from. I grew up along the Mississippi River. Our family would hurry down to the locks as soon as we heard her. A grand scene anytime, but spectacular at night!

My mother's granpap had one of these built out of car horns and used hubcaps and car parts for percussion. He used to play it at a private whorehouse in Salt Lake City. They never busted the place cuz it wuz owned by the church.

It will be super sad when she's gone.

We are working really hard to make sure that doesn't happen. It is too bad the factions who want her gone are not paying attention to all the owners have done to make the passengers safe, for she is truly safer than any public building in America and this whole thing is just a horrid misunderstanding and political power stand off!
