MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -The historic Delta Queen paddle boat is
going to Chattanooga for use as a waterfront boutique hotel.
It was decommissioned as a passenger carrier in October in
Memphis.
The Commercial Appeal quoted officials Tuesday as saying it will
be moored in Chattanooga at Coolidge Park Landing in the downtown
waterfront area. It has most recently been tied up in New Orleans.
The Delta Queen's last port of call as a passenger ship was
Memphis. It has 87 cabins and is a National Historic Landmark.
It lost its longtime U.S. Coast Guard exemption to carry
overnight guests late last year because of its wooden
superstructure.
