I don't think so Jed... probably petrol now... don't see smoke out of the stacks... Built in 1988 and Passenger capacity of 385. The boat carries 3500 gallons (13200L) of fuel and 2500 gallons (9500L) of water. Https://spiritofpeoria.com

Cool. That paddlewheeler reminds me of my third Prom. I took my best friend's sister to her prom that year. It was held on the Robert E Lee steamboat. What a thrill that was!

The night of July 12-13, 1943, in the Battle of Kolombangara the Light Cruiser USS *St. Louis* (CL-49) suffered a bow-hit by an Imperial destroyer-launched Long Lance torpedo. The torpedo explosion bent her bow 12'-7" to port from her centerline, but caused no serious casualties.

Oh yes! There's got to be more pics of the Constitution under sail. She's beautiful! I love how she's the oldest commissioned warship in the US Navy too!
