Natchez

Natchez is a steamboat based in New Orleans undertaking harbor and dinner cruises on the Mississippi. Designed by Alan L. Bates, Natchez was built in 1976 as a (steel) replica of an old sternwheeler. However, her steam engines originate from the towboat Clairton built in 1927. More information on Natchez is found at www.steamboats.org.
