Island Queen
The ''Island Queen'' was a series of two American sidewheeler steamboats built in 1896 and 1925 respectively. Both vessels were passenger carriers cruising along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers as both an excursion boat and tramp steamer . The first Island Queen burnt down in 1922 in a fire which destroyed several other vessels. The second Island Queen was destroyed in 1947 when its Chief Engineer, using a welding torch, accidentally cut into her fuel tank. This final iteration of the Island Queen was reduced to its steel frame. The boat was scrapped by a local company.

The first Island Queen was a Sidewheel excursion wooden hull steamboat built in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1896. She was owned by Coney Island Company and used to ferry passengers between Cincinnati and Coney Island amusement park. She was christened May 16, 1986 by the daughter of Lee H Brooks, Coney Island Company's chairman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://coneyislandpark.com/history )〕 In off-seasons when the park was closed she operated as a tramp steamer on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, going as far downstream as New Orleans. On April 27, 1922 her forward hurricane deck collapsed, injuring 27 children and paralyzed one. That same year on November 4, ''Island Queen'' was severally burned and decommissioned after a fire engulfed several steamboats in Cincinnati harbor.
