Talk:Mississippi Queen (steamboat)

claim of being the largest steamboat
Perhaps what is meant is that the Mississippi Queen was the largest shallow draft paddle wheel river steamboat when it was built? Clearly the ocean going paddle, propeller, and sail powered SS Great Eastern of 1858 (length 211 m, displace 32,160 tons) was larger? The RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 of 1969 was a steamship until it was converted to diesel internal combustion electric generator propulsion. And the QE2 was 293.5 m long and displaced 48,923 tons. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 01:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
