The Grand American Queen Back In Town Yesterday

Yesterday, the Grand American Queen showed up in our historic civil war town of Vicksburg, Mississippi.  Here are a few pictures I took and I hope you enjoy.  

Picture taken from Children's Art Park at Catfish Row of the American Queen's smokestacks reaching above the Vicksburg Riverfront Murals.  

A close-up of the Vicksburg Riverfront Mural of the Sprague (Big Mama) the largest steam stern-wheel towboat ever built for inland river service...up against the largest riverboat steamboat ever built today on the Mississippi River.



Looks like the embankment needs to be repaired

I took a picture of a cracks in the pavement and embankment.  Plans are in place to make improvements of the waterfront.  

A side view of the American Queen.


While there it started thundering so I took one more last picture before leaving. The Old Depot Museum in the background.  To the left you have the M/V Mississippi IV landlocked at the Jesse Brent Lower Mississippi River Museum. 


The American Queen will return next Friday to our hometown for another day of tourists sightseeing our historic city.

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super
    long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and
    say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to
    the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers?
    I'd genuinely appreciate it.

    Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website.
    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal.

    I must say you have done a excellent job with this.
    Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer.
    Superb Blog!
