I had a RE convention in 1998 in Miami and afterward we drove our rental to Key West and spent 3 days. When we left there we went to Key Largo and spent 2 days. The African Queen was docked close to Bogey's Bar on the docks.

At the time we were there, they weren't taking people on cruises because of maintenance issues. I wish I could have gone.

The boat is incredibly small, about 30 feet long.

It has only survived this long, due to long time fans and dedicated owners who worked hard to restore it.

A great tribute to a time long past.



PS And a great show!
