Name: Richard Rabinowitz From: Monroe Township, NJ E-mail: Contact	First of all, I endorse the petition to save the Delta Queen and get it in running order again. That being said, I see nothing wrong with pointing out the following: Safety is important because we don't want another Morro Castle or General Slocum or Normandie or Queen Elizabeth disaster, after all. This is why adequate safety and fire prevention systems are important.   Added: January 11, 2010

We have lost so much of our history in general. Please save this maritime treasure so future generations can live the dream of life on the Western Rivers. Preserve and save the Delta Queen. Allow it full access to travel the regional rivers and become a floating educational classroom for school kids. Who knows, they may grow up to support the preservation of their own heritage!   Added: January 6, 2010

We still need to fight every inch of the way for the Delta Queen. Using the argument that she is a fire trap would mean that we would have to replace/rebuild almost every commercial building which serves as a hotel/bed & breakfast throughout this country which is more than 80 years old! (Look at the old B&Bs in NYC or Chicago or any small town in America) Passengers knew/know what they entering when they board her. She needs to run again now!   Added: January 5, 2010

God save the Queen! We just stayed in the Queen in Chattanooga. It has been a dream since I first saw her in 1962 to do so. It would have been much better if she was sailing. Several comments have been made that advocate doing away with the nanny state. Today it is illegal to ride a wooden ship in a river. Tomorrow bungie jumping and roller coasters may go as well. Give people a chance to sign a waiver, promise not to sue, and live life. The real issue isn't safety, it's the fact that the Queen's crew is non-union.   Added: December 31, 2009

I used to work at the original "Delta Queen steamboat Co." and fell in love with the Delta Queen. It is a remarquable vessel with an amazing and memorable authentic decor. I was 22 at the time and even so got the most unbelievable souvenir sailing on that marvelous steamboat. It is ashame to deprive people from getting the same incredible and back in time experiences. I really hope they will put this historical marvel back to sail our American rivers.   Added: December 30, 2009

It seems to be taking Congress a long time to make up their minds! They should get their act together, and realize its time to do something positive! The Delta Queen is being used as a floating hotel, when she should be sailing on our great rivers! My wife and I took a 7 day cruise on the Queen a couple of years ago, and it was one of the most enjoyable trips we have ever taken ! I have contacted my local Representative and Senator, but have not received any positive response from either of them, although they both indicated that they support the exemption to the Delta Queen from SOLAS ! I hope that Congress will finally realize that the Queen deserves the exemption and will be allowed to sail again!!   Added: December 5, 2009

November 21, 2009 Re: The Delta Queen in Chattanooga, TN To: Rep. Zach Wamp, I have been a guest on the Delta Queen this weekend and am very happy that it is docked in Chattanooga, however, I do think that it is important that she return to be a living part of history. I am looking forward to the day that I well be able to experience the Queen as she wants to be free to plow the rivers of this country as she has for the last 83 years. I fear that at this rate one day there well be so many laws and regulation the freedom that we have as Americans well be as tied to moorings as the Delta Queen. I hope you well do all that you can to help her. Yours Truly James L Mayberry God Save The Queen   Added: November 22, 2009

Name: Don Corbin From: Roanoke, Virginia	The Delta Queen should be exempt from SOLAS. Upon what sea does she sail? The assertion that she is a fire hazard is absurd.   Added: November 18, 2009

Name: Stephen Betita From: La Selva Beach, CA E-mail: Contact	My parents-in-law absolutely loved the cruise on the Delta Queen years ago, so much so that they impressed me with a desire to go on the Delta Queen with my wife. I really hope that an amendment passes allowing us to cruise on this National Treasure.   Added: November 14, 2009
