A beautiful day for the riverboat "American Duchess" with her passengers to tour our historic civil war town of Vicksburg, MS. This picture was taken from Catfish Row at Children's Art Park.
I made my way over behind the flood wall to get a close-up picture of American Duchess.
An up-close picture of the American Duchess today with her smokestacks down!
The flood water is receding but benches are still submerged.
A pulled-out view of the American Duchess.
View from the riverboat of the Jesse Brent Lower Mississippi Museum with M/V Mississippi IV landlocked at the museum. Workers were busy laying wooden ties because the flooding has blocked off north/south rail traffic.
Barriers are up and will be continued over to the floodwall if the Yazoo Diversion Canal rises which is predicted with the melting of snow from up north. The train tracks will have to be removed to continue the barrier. Hopefully, they will sandbag around The Old Depot Museum from flooding which went underwater in 2011 flood.
Looking down from the Jesse Brent Lower Mississippi Museum at the American Duchess. I love the blue umbrellas on top.
Took this picture from Washington Street looking at The Old Depot Museum with the Levee Street Marketplace to the lower right.
