The steamboat, the American Queen out of Nashville, TN, came
past Wellsville yesterday evening. It was on a voyage to Pittsburgh. That voyage originated in Louisville, KY,
with seven overnights and six stops scheduled along the way, according to their
web site.
It should be passing through again today enroute to
Cincinnati on a four night cruise with two stops scheduled. On July 22 it will start toward Pittsburgh
one more time. This time it will be five
overnights with four stops scheduled.
Those three cruises feature music from the 1960s for entertainment. When it leaves Pittsburgh on July 27 the
entertainment will feature Big Band music.

That last cruise will conclude in Louisville. From there it the steamboat will be heading
on south.
It’s kind of nostalgic seeing a steamboat pass by
Wellsville. Here are some pictures of
the ship taken when it passed the Wellsville River Museum. According to one post on FaceBook the
smokestacks were lowered when they went through the New Cumberland Locks
yesterday.
The American Queen is actually out of Memphis, TN not Nashville.
ReplyDeleteThe American Queen's home port is Memphis, not Nashville.
