I've watched way to many sad videos this week. It started with the newest DVD set of Jim Herron about the Delta Queen' historic cruise on October last year. Then came the piece about the Str. PRESIDENT being cut in pieces, and last but not least a video about the conversion of the Rhine River steamer GOETHE from steam to diesel in winter 2008/09. Loosing three historic steamboats in just a few month's time is hard to stand, and then all three videos in one week ...

I'd like to mention especially Jim Herron's new set of 3 DVDs about the Delta Queen's so called "Last Cruise" in October 2008 from Cincinnati to Memphis. Jim was so nice to send me a review copy, and here is my review: www.steamboats.org/steamboat-river-cruise-news/steamboat-and-river-news/last-cruise-of-the-delta-queen.html
