Description
Circa 1946. Buoyed by the Mississippi River, this romantic towboat is moored against a backdrop of the downtown skyline. Now a floating B&B, this authentic line boat was the prototype for modern-era towboats. Trimmed stem to stern in brass, bronze and mahogany, the authentic nautical theme is elegant. The comfortable salon, lit with clerestory windows, offers tables with a view, fireside couches and a library of historic books. Private staterooms feature built-in cabinets, antique fixtures and vintage art. The galley provides a breakfast blend of gourmet and hearty regional fare like wild rice French toast with fresh strawberries, organic maple syrup and bacon or sausage. Enjoy a quiet getaway or explore the active city life.Publicity and Awards: Travel Channel.Location: City/Urban, Waterfront and Mississippi River.
