Matt Dow It's actually powered by real steam engines from the dredge KENNEDY. While it is supplemented with 2 z-drives, it is, indeed, a fully-functional paddlewheel.

Thanks Matt for posting the facts.
Just out of curiosity as to who would think her paddlewheel was fake, I looked up this person - seems he's Secretary-Treasurer of the SIU. Now for you DQ fans, you know what SIU is, and what they presumably did regarding the DQ exemption. I guess it must be deflating to see one of the QUEENS resurrected and cruising again, and presumably without SIU personnel. Watch out for further misinformation/maliciousness, GASCo.!!!!!!!
