I found a wonderfully written and illustrated review of Delta Queen's July 5th voyage from St Louis just now on www.maritimematters.com, just past the 'click here to enter' button. Fantastic pictures of both boats in St Louis and the voyage to Cincinnati with great interior photos.

Nice review; took me 5 tries on dial-up to get it all to download. I've saved it to share with my family.

Yes, I decided I needed to print it out- ran out of ink cartridges on my printer plus was listening to my father complaining to me about the errands we needed to do. But even the photos show off the interior of the grand lady very well indeed- no people in the pictures so he took them at the crack of dawn. Oh, but there is a nice photo of Mary Charlton.
When Delaware North first took over, they managed to get quite a few journalists riding the boats although I was told the pictures were mostly in the European version of travel magazines.
Hopefully Ambassador also can use connections to the media to keep the boats in the public eye. We are the ones with the steamboat addiction but I assure you that I still encounter people all the time who see my tee shirts or hear me talking and don't know the boats even exist.
