A Towboat Disguised as a Side-Wheel Riverboat

A Towboat Disguised as a Side-Wheel Riverboat

This appears to be a retired towboat that has been decorated, with a paddlebox, to look like a riverboat with a side-wheel paddle. The side-wheel cover has been painted with a business logo that includes a bald eagle perched on a bale of cotton. The boat serves as an advertisement for Memphis Queen Riverboats.
