It's a nicely written article, but the writer made some assumptions, and there are several minor inaccuracies that only steamboat folks would see. For instance, it starts off talking about the nation's oldest authentic steamboat. Of course one example of an older one would be the Belle of Louisville (1914). Also, I was thinking the DQ didn't enter actual service until 1927, and would have been under construction in '25-'26. Also, the DQ is not the only NHL vessel, and there are other NHL's that move around to different places daily (in reference to the main photo caption). The article does have nice photos.
