Product Description
Relive the romantic past of world-famous steamboat Delta Queen and enjoy the uplifting story of her present-day life on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The engaging King & Queen of the River is a lively page-turner packed with interviews and anecdotes. It not only traces the colorful history of this highly-revered riverboat, but also tells the seldom-heard tail of her identical twin, the Delta King. Both vessels began their lives in California. The book recounts their earliest days in the 1920s through postwar hardships Ñ including fire, sinkings, and midnight piracy Ñ to their eventual rescue and triumphant return to America's waterways. This soft-cover book includes 150 photos in its 288 pages and measures 7"x10".
