The Calliope


The calliope of the Delta Queen

A calliope is a steam-powered organ. The sound of this musical instrument is similar to the steam- or air-pressure powered organs you may know from the fairs. A calliope is a "must" on every steamboat.

The calliope on the mighty, old amusement and excursion steamers did part of the entertainment for the passengers and the waiting people at the landings.
