American Queen

"American Queen" is the largest steamboat ever built. The ship was built in 1995 and is a six-deck recreation of a classic Mississippi riverboat, owned by Majestic America Line. Although the "American Queen's" paddlewheel is indeed powered by a genuine steam plant, her primary propulsion comes from a set of diesel propellers, known as Z-drives, on either side of the sternwheel. It has 222 state rooms for a capacity of 436 guests and a crew of 160. It is convert|418|ft|m long and convert|89|ft|m wide.
