Ted,

Thanks for the pics! I remember seeing this boat sitting in a slough on the GIWW about 20 miles east of Port Arthur, TX last time we were over that way on the DQ. As a matter of fact I have some pictures of it somewhere. I will try to find those and post them soon. I believe she had blue trim at that time...but, this is definately her!

I always wondered about this boat. She looks just like all those articulated boats...but has a sternwheel which looks suspisciously functional. Seems I took some pictures with a telephoto lens and saw a break like on an articulated vessel.

With her tall Pilothouse she sure has the look of an old timer....too bad about the all white with no trim look. I am sure that will change, as colour seems to be the Casino hallmark on the river...the more ostentatiously colourful the better!

Seems to me last time I saw her she had a Tangley Calliaphone on the upper deck stern. Looks like this is gone....ah how the casino folk move boldly ahead in the face of tradition!
