House Passes Bill to Let Delta Queen Ply US Rivers Again
« on: September 27, 2013, 07:48:40 AM »
Well there is some sanity and common sense in Washington DC after all!  Of course, it still has to navigate the halls of the Senate & be signed into law but at least there's hope that she won't rot tied up as a hotel on some Florida causeway.

Certainly good news to have made it this far and hopefully it will become great news when passed into law.

I wonder if the British government will be willing to make a similar exemption for the Medway Queen.

They don't have the authority. Have to ask the European Parliament.  :'(
