Str. Delta Queen Preparing To Get Underway !

Greetings From New Orleans ,
The Str. Delta Queen is now preparing to get underway as this article is being written . This morning I personally spoke to one to the two pilots on board the " Queen " and I was told that there was a full complement of both the Engineering and Deck/Navigation crew on board and that the Coat Guard was on board as well conducting an inspection . I was also told that the weather is now cooperating and that the " Queens " fuel lines have been cleared and that she will be departing some time today for Chattanooga , Tenn.. " God Speed Delta Queen !
Smooth Sailing !
