Please help us, the crew of the Delta Queen, save both our jobs and a national treasure!

 

 

*The

Delta Queen is the last traditional steamboat* carrying overnight

passengers on our inland waterways, an example of a time when the

rivers were our highways. Her wooden superstructure requires an

exemption from the Safety at Sea Act to operate past this October.

 

 

Please,

help us convincing the US Congress to act in favor of the Delta Queen,

to save this unique piece of American history, for us and the

generations to come!
