Island Queen
The Island Queen was a series of two American sidewheeler steamboats built in 1896 and 1925 respectively. Both vessels were passenger carriers cruising along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers as both an excursion boat and tramp steamer . The first Island Queen burnt down in 1922 in a fire which destroyed several other vessels. The second Island Queen was destroyed in 1947 when its Chief Engineer, using a welding torch, accidentally cut into her fuel tank. This final iteration of the Island Queen was reduced to its steel frame. The boat was scrapped by a local company.
