- It’s June 1980 on the Delta Queen and Capt. Carol “Rip” Ware, from Pulaski, Miss., jots down the daily run stages from the Coast Guard before going off watch, while Capt. William L. “Bill” Foley, of Andalusia, Ill., comes on watch. Ware, who had the forward and watch and Foley, who had the after watch, were at Hannibal, Mo., about to get ready to depart for Dubuque, Ia. Capt. Ware was notorious for tapping the roof bell on unsuspecting passengers who stood or sat by the bell. “Some of them darn near leaped over the railing,” said photographer John Miller. “There was never a dull moment when these two teamed up, and it was always a great pleasure to visit them. They are sorely missed.” Copyright John Robert Miller.
- Who can count ’em? “This is 8,891,448th picture taken of the Delta Queen,” quips the photographer, “but it is the first [or one of the first] taken of the vessel from the reopened Eads Bridge deck in St. Louis, July 7, 2003, at 7:40 p.m.” Copyright Ed Rahe.
- The Mississippi Queen and Delta Queen were highly photographed over the Fourth of July 2003 as they lay at the Paducah, Ky., river front. No. 1 is a picture from the stern of the MQ, with the DQ hidden behind her. No. 2 is a well-planned shot taken of the Queens at the riverfront, with gorgeous flowers in the foreground and a beautiful summer sky to add to the beauty. No. 3 shows a burst of fireworks rising from the fireworks barge behind the nearly darkened vessels. No. 4 is a head-on shot of the Queens. Copyright Barry Griffith.

- The Delta Queen, built in 1926 at Stockton, CA, is a historic landmark. The cost of construction was $875,000. She was brought from the West Coast to the Mississippi River system in 1947.

- The ro/ro tow combination Dynamica/RoRo 2 is passing Duisburg on the lower Rhine, downbound to unload its cargo of lorries. Both vessels have two decks and are able to carry 72 trailers. The tow combination has dimensions of 613 by 37 feet; the pushing motorship Dynamica has twin screws and develops 3,000 hp. The barge RoRo 2 has an independent propulsion (bow and stern thruster). Note the retractable wheelhouse which is close to its highest position. There are currently two combinations on the lower Rhine, in the meantime both lengthened to 738 feet, which usually carry trailers, combines, tractors, new-built cars and also containers, tanks and helicopters.
