Is the TUNICA QUEEN a new boat or one that's worn another name?

Tunica Queen
Sam: Its the former Gateway River Belle. Built at Dubuque in 1965

Thanks for that, Capt. Bill. There was a former TUNICA QUEEN there that I think had been on the East Coast somewhere, was refurbished at Serodino's, and is now up the Arkansas River somewhere. It did not last very long (a year or two?) at Tunica.

Hey Bob, this is the same boat. Lancaster brought it down off the Tennesse a few years back and put her into service. The article says that it is a 400 passenger vessel. I have been aboard the Tunica Queen and can't figure out where the would stack them all. Kinda small for that many if you know what I mean.

Wasn't she the PECONIC RIVER QUEEN originally somewheres up in New Jersey?
I remember passing her at Serodino's on the Tennessee River at Hales Bar on the MISSISSIPPI QUEEN in 2003. She was the TUNICA QUEEN from 04-05 and in 06 moved to Little Rock, AR where she is the ARKANSAS QUEEN now.
The boat named TUNICA QUEEN today is the former GATEWAY RIVER BELLE at Pittsburgh, PA.
I know the ARKANSAS QUEEN is a Bob Lumpp venture, is not the TUNICA QUEEN?
