Brazos Belle
''Brazos Belle'' was a American riverboat constructed for use on the Brazos River in Texas. Permanently docked in Waco, Texas as a restaurant in 1997, the ''Belle'' often hosted dinner parties, receptions, and functions for local Greek organizations. Flooding in 2007 badly damaged the boat; although the ''Belle'' was refloated, repairs proved uneconomical, and the ''Brazos Belle'' was scrapped late in 2008.
== History ==
''Brazos Belle'', originally named ''Brazos Queen II'', was constructed by F.M. Young at a cost of $1 million, the vessel being permanently berthed on Lake Brazos, near Interstate 35 in Waco in 1997 as a result of fluctuating water levels in the Brazos River. Young sold the riverboat to Tony Cain, president of Brazos Leisure, Inc., in 2006.〔 The ''Belle'' was a popular restaurant and tourist attraction in Waco, being used for banquets and wedding receptions,〔 although it proved too large to be operated effectively on the river.〔
In 2006, low water levels on the Brazos River grounded the vessel, leading to it having to temporarily close and lose as much as $70,000 in revenue; in 2007, vandals broke into the boat four times in under two months.〔
