The Vicksburg Post, had a writeup about The General Jackson that I had taken a picture of on our Sunday drive. It said that the General Jackson, a riverboat based in Nashville and used for dinner cruises, was moored at the City Front after experiencing mechanical trouble on its way home from New Orleans for a regular five-year inspection trip. The captain, Paul Stinson, said he expected the 300-foot-long vessel to leave Vicksburg in a day or so on a trip that should take about a week. In Nashville, the boat is used for 16-mile excursions on the Cumberland River. The boat has been in service since 1985 and is owned by Nashville-based Gaylord Entertainment, which operates the Grand Ole Opry in Music City. Charming, Just Charming!
