And, as one historian noted, “The thing ran against the glory days, but with all the modern amenities afforded the current; what could be more American than that?” by newer technology .

Queen – the largest and most opulent steamboat ever built . 4 OUR STORY (888) 749-5280 She is virtually a time machine that takes people back to the early 1900s and relives the full grandeur of Mark Twain’s Mississippi River . Unfortunately, a previous owner ran into financial difficulty, and had to cease operations . After a few years of the beautiful vessel sitting idle, our group acquired the beloved treasure in 2011 . Upon completion of extensive refurbishment, and after a celebrated rechristening by her new godmother, Priscilla Presley, the American Queen returned to overnight cruise service in April 2012 . In the wake of our successful relaunch of the American Queen, we have since added three other remarkable vessels – the American Empress, the American Duchess and the American Countess . The American Empress, the largest overnight riverboat west of the Mississippi, has been an outstanding success since her debut on the Columbia and Snake Rivers in April 2014 . In the summer of 2017, the innovative, 166-guest American Duchess began service following in the pedigree of our line’s flagship American Queen, with itineraries on the Mississippi River and its tributaries . She is the first purpose-built boutique paddlewheeler, and boasts modern, expansive accommodations . She offers a luxurious and unique cruising experience . The American Countess is the baby of the family as the newest addition to our fleet . We could not be more excited about her upcoming launch . Built from the existing hull of the Kanesville Queen, the American Countess traveled to Houma, Louisiana, for extensive construction by 150 skilled workers . American Queen Steamboat Company is confident that the American Countess will entice guests to enjoy river cruising, traveling itineraries similar to those of her heartland- based sisters . We are proud to continue the tradition of overnight cruising on America’s rivers with our trademark level of service aboard four uniquely American, iconic paddlewheel riverboats .

  • Brand New Mississippi Sternwheeler from American Cruise Lines
    Brand New Mississippi Sternwheeler from American Cruise Lines Guilford, CT - American Cruise Lines has announced it is expanding to the Mississippi River system with a brand new sternwheeler, already under construction at Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, MD. It plans to operate the new riverboat on routes similar to those formerly run by Delta Queen Steamboat Company, which will include the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers. Cruising the Mississippi River on a sternwheeler is a true all-American experience that American Cruise Lines is pleased to bring back. The new paddlewheeler will recreate the grandeur of past riverboats while possessing the latest safety, environmental and construction technologies.

  • 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.
