[Shipyard Sam]

Save the DELTA QUEEN for now... by patronizing the DQ hotel in Chattanooga. She needs all the help she can get. We are fortunate that the DELTA QUEEN is in the caring hands of Captain Harry Phillips and his dedicated staff. After spending three days and two nights aboard, I left impressed with what the Upper Tennessee River crew is trying to do. But in order to continue, the QUEEN needs a steady inflow of $$, and that can only come with a steady stream of guests frequenting the boat.

So, until the DELTA QUEEN can be brought back on the Rivers of America runnning under her own steam power, she needs all the help she can get right where she lays in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
