Riverboats & Flooding In My Hometown of Vicksburg


I went down to the waterfront this past Saturday morning to see riverboats, Queen Of The Mississippi and the Grand Amerian Queen that were moored in the Yazoo Diversion Canal. The passengers enjoyed a full day of touring our historic civil war town of Vicksburg, MS. Here are a few pictures I took of passengers making the best of a situation crossing the railroad tracks and/or walking over a ramp.

Looking down from Washington Street at the riverboats.  

Walking down to the waterfront.

This picture was taken from Mulberry Street showing off the Vicksburg Riverfront Murals on the floodwall.   

Taken from behind The Old Depot Museum.


A ramp was placed for the passengers to walked over the railroad tracks.

Four benches going under water.

The Grand American Queen moored in the Yazoo Diversion Canal.

Retaining walls to hold back the water.

The opposite side of the retaining wall.


A picture I took of The Old Court House Museum that stood during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863.



We have major flooding in our town with the MS River at 51.21 feet yesterday with a flood stage of 43 feet.  It is predicted to crest later today with the possibility of more flooding coming later this month or next from the ice/snow from the North.

    I was just looking for this information for a while.
    After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it
    in your website. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites
    in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are
    full of garbage.
