There was a time in which the American Queen was nothing but An American Queen Was Born a dream. She was a dream to build the largest, most opulent riverboat in the world. But this dream did not stay one. This Celebrate Good Times dream became a reality: Longer than a football field, towering six decks in height and laced with fanciful gingerbread trim, The Queen Lives On she is a marvel of modern engineering. A New Era When Delta Queen Steamboat Company decided to add a Savor the Flavors of the River third vessel to its collection, it made a big choice. The company invested a paramount amount of capital, time, brainpower Legends & Lore of the and love into her building. And since her construction, this American Queen dream boat has journeyed through America’s heartland, Remember When? offering unique perspectives on America’s history, culture and landscapes. What's New? This season, the American Queen has spent the majority of her time nestled in port in Louisiana. Dreaming, silently waiting to welcome her family on board once again. continued on next page... The Making of A Dream, continued... CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES This is her 25th year, and An American queen was born, and she deserved a celebration unlike celebrations just aren’t the same any other. On June 2, 1995, in the famed steamboatin’ port of New without loved ones to share in Orleans, the American Queen enjoyed her first christening by original the fun. So, this one’s for the godmother Angel Harvey, wife of broadcaster Paul Harvey. American Queen. For her original christening, as a nod to her connection to Louisiana, Delta Queen Steamboat Company chose to replace the traditional champagne bottle with a 4-foot-tall, 21.3-gallon container of Tabasco® hot sauce. This – the largest bottle ever produced – was sure to make this grand lady the “hottest” boat to paddle throughout the rivers. Our Paddlewheelers generally share stories of onboard happenings, but this time – in tandem with the world as it stands today – things will be a little bit different. We’ll celebrate the legacy that she has built within the pages of this newsletter – making sure her spirit is kept well, and showing her the love that she most definitely deserves. At the event, Harvey proudly declared, “I christen thee the American Queen. God bless the American Queen and all who sail upon her,” and cut the line. The crowd joined in cheer and song, and just like that, this legend was ready to begin her legacy.

She was relocated to the Beaumont, Texas, for almost four years. For the first time since the invention of the overnight passenger steamboat, the Mississippi River system did not have one operating on its waters. In 2010, three men with a vision decided to bring the world’s largest, most luxurious steamboat back to the water. John Waggoner – founder and CEO of American Queen Steamboat Company – and his two partners, offered to purchase the American Queen, and spent $6 million to renovate her, including several mechanical upgrades. A NEW ERA Waggoner had saved the American Queen and was ready to introduce her to the world once again. A bottle of champagne breaking across her bow signaled the return of overnight cruising on the Mississippi River. On April 27, 2012, at the Beale Street Landing, Priscilla Presley re-welcomed the boat to its home on the rivers. The grand steamboat’s resurrection “brings back a lot of nostalgia for the heartland,” Presley dreamily stated at the Memphis christening. The American Queen was back – and more grand than ever before. She was ready to make America fall in love with river cruising all over again.

Take a step back into 1995 with one of the American Queen’s original crew members. “It was an honor to be a part of something so special,” said Robbi Haase. Thanks to Robbi for being a visual storyteller and sharing her crew album with us! 5 March last year myself and my wife Jane sailed on the American Queen from Greenville to New Orleans, our first visit to the States. On our first night on board we went down to dinner in the restaurant, second sitting. We were shown to our seats at a table which seated six and we were first seated. A second couple came to the table and introduced themselves. Their names were Gary and Pricilla Moore. A coincidence as my name is Gerry Moore. Whilst chatting to them a third couple came to fill the other seats. They were English like ourselves and came from Blackpool, about 30 miles from us. A nice coincidence. I hadn’t taken much notice of the husband but looking at him I realized I knew him! We had worked together on a Nuclear Facility 43 years before and hadn’t seen each other over all that time. And here we were on The Mississippi sat next to each other.

  • Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society Meetings Are Now Held on the First Monday of the Even Numbered Months of the Year
    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER December 2015 Vol. 13 Number 6 December 2015 Meeting The December meeting will be held Monday, December 7, 2015. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The speaker will be Robert Prather who is going to tell us about The Strange Case of Jonathan Swift and the Real Long John Silver. Swift was a miner in the 1700s and is said to have owned the largest mansion in Alexandria, Virginia. Was the mine in Kentucky or Virginia or Tennessee? Some traditions say it is/was in Kentucky. What is the true identity of the mysterious silver miner? Sources of information provided in Kentucky history books were generally attained through verbal accounts; therefore, no written verifiable description has ever been provided to disclose the miner’s full identity. Mr. Prather says that the identity of the mysterious silver miner is revealed in his book. The author also states, “As with all folk stories and legends, only basic information regarding any particular story is passed on by verbal accounts and in most instances the stories have been embellished and altered from one telling to the next.” Swift’s mining activities took place during the late 1700’s, so how much truth has survived? The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. February, 2016 Meeting As part of Black History Month along with the Jeffersontown Branch Library we will have a program presented by local author, Carridder Jones, “Voices from Historical African American Communities Near Louisville, Kentucky.” October Meeting Kadie Engstrom, Education Coordinator for the Belle of Louisville, has worked with the historic steamboat Belle of Louisville in several capacities since 1972, and has been Education Coordinator since 1992.

  • Belle of Louisville History Facts
    Belle of Louisville History Facts Kadie Engstrom, Education Coordinator (502) 574-2992 1) She was built as the Idlewild in 1914, Pittsburgh, PA. 2) She operated first as a ferry and day packet (freight) vessel, and was also outfitted for excursion trade. 3) She served as a ferry for two years, and ran packet and excursion trade for another decade. By the early 1930s, packet work was nearly gone, so the Idlewild ran excursion cruises from then on. 4) During WW II, she was outfitted with tow knees, equipment that allowed her to tow oil barges on the Mississippi River to help the war effort. The Idlewild also served as a USO station in different river ports on the Mississippi. 5) Because of a 1947 deathbed wish of her Master at the time, her name was changed to the Avalon in 1948. 6) In 1949, she was sold to a group of investors from Cincinnati who ran the Avalon as a tramp steamer. She went from town to town along the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio River systems offering short excursion cruises and then moving on. 7) During the next 12 years, and with only a 5’ draft, the Avalon became the most widely-traveled river steamer of her size in the country, running on every navigable waterway from the Missouri River to the East Coast. 8) In the fall of 1961, the Avalon was in such deplorable shape her owners were unwilling to spend the money for necessary repairs and refurbishing; so she was taken out of service at Cincinnati and was scheduled for demolition.
