Str. Mississippi Queen - SOLD !

Ted Davisson · 2010-04-30T03:14:17Z

Greetings From New Orleans ! I have just received an e-mail from a close and reliable friend and some one whom has had his ear very close to the ground that the Str. Mississippi Queen has met her fate ! According to my friend , the Str. Mississippi Queen has been purchased and will be moved and sold for SCRAP ! Her engines and hull will be salvaged but her super structure will be SCRAPED ! The hull will be turned into a barged and no telling at this point will happen to the remains ! What an inglorious end to such a majestic vessed and what a shame that the " Powers That Be " failed miserably to take care of not only this vessel but the entire Delta Queen Steamboat Company has well ! I will report more details has they are sent me ! What A Crying Shame For All Of Us ! Smooth Sailing ! Ted Davisson

Don't quit now, David!

No such thing as hogging the forum, especially when you have solved a big piece of the puzzle! Great detective work and reasoning!

Thanks!

The first photos of the Mississippi Queen in the Harvey Canal have been posted in another thread. They are not great quality because they were taken with a cellphone at dusk. Better ones are on the way soon.
