Does anybody know why the MQ's stacks don't have any feathers in these pictures? She looks weird...

President

Why is the president black next to the paddle box?

No Longer Afloat

The President was dismantled and moved to a site in Illinois, I think, and there it remains, as far as I know. It was supposed to be reconstructed. It was featured in an episode of Mega Movers.

Like the Old Stuff

Without going into intangibles, I worked 2 weeks as mate and 2 weeks as pilot on the MQ. I found the MQ to be a better boat than I had expected. Piloting it was much easier than horsing around the old DQ. That said, I really didn't mind the "primitive" conditions on the DQ because of its intangible allure. One can always adapt.
