The Delta Queen steamboat was built in 1927 and is a National Historic Landmark. It travels the Mississippi River and its tributaries. This picture is taken on the Ohio River at Louisville. The Delta Queen riverboat was built with hardwood paneling, teak handrails, ornate trim, brass fittings and the grand staircase is crowned by a crystal chandelier. The Delta Queen is in danger of being permanently docked because of a 1966 law called the Safety of Life at Sea. This law forbids any wooded vessel from operating, if carrying at least 50 overnight guests. The Queen's exemption runs out on Nov. 1, 2008.
