I spoke with some employees of the Queen Island paddle steamer. The Penny machine was broken and was subsequently removed without replacement; no one knows why. Instead, they told us to buy a souvenir photo from the photographer during boarding later at the ship's kiosk for $15, so we could have our souvenir. Such a disgrace. What a pity for the beautiful Penny paddle steamer.
Island Queen. In the early 1980s, Memphis was preparing to open the MUD ISLAND RIVER Park and Memphis Riverboats was to have a role in the new adventure. The idea of the Island Queen was born. In 1983, “Capt. Tom” competed the Island Queen, a 100-ft. long vessel with an enclosed first, deck a covered second deck, and a partially covered third deck.
