[edit] History

The steam boat traveled the Rivers of America at Walt Disney World and began operation the day after opening day. The boat was retired due to an accident during its rehab in 1980. The boat was being lifted by a crane when it slipped and destroyed the hull. The boat was later buried on the property after sitting in the bone yard for a number of years.
