Greetings From New Orleans ,
Its just come to my attention that the Str. American Queen has just arrived in Memphis and now both the Delta Queen and the American Queen are tied off together at Green Belt Park . Its also my understanding that both boats will be departing Memphis tonight at 10:00pm and will be stopping next in Helena, Arkansas the following morning . There is also a scheduled formal departure ceremony for the Delta Queen and I would rather imagine that it will in all likelyhood turn into a rather sad event . I've also been told that both the boats will be going down the river together and making stops in Vicksburg , Natchez , Baton Rouge , Oak alley and then New Orleans .
