The most recent news I have heard is that the paint job is finished and she was being moved from Sulfur, LA to Morgan City, LA to continue preparations for her first cruise. In regards to the smoke stacks from what I understand they are more for looks than anything else, while they do function to an extent....The left one is an exhaust from the boiler that creates the steam for the paddlewheel and the right one is incinerator exhaust. The boat runs on #2 diesel fuel to create the steam so what smoke that does come out is from that. I have not heard anything on them changing the configuration of them but I will ask my contact down there and report back any new info.
