Mississippi Queen

Mississippi Queen

Every year, there is a famous boat race along the winding course of the Mississippi River. To earn the prize, a captain must ably maneuver through the curvy river to pick up passengers gussied up in crinoline, but also be the fastest to steer between the other boats, numerous islets, and various other hazards of navigation. Are you up to the challenge? If so, and you manage to win this prestigious race, you will be honored for an entire year by being named commander of the most celebrated of these famous paddlewheelers: the Mississippi Queen.
