Next we took a trip on the Steamboat Natchez going up and down the Mississippi. Here I am in the engine room! The pump behind me is driving the paddlewheel. (and I did, in fact, keep my hands clear)

Summary:
We passed the Creole Queen, another boat we could have cruised on. The captain pointed out that, while she looked like a nice ship, she is not a real steamboat like the Steamboat Natchez, so we had in fact made the right choice. Burn on Creole Queen!
