Did you know⁉️

Before the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS was the Riverboat she is today, she was the ROCK ISLAND CASINO Riverboat in Rock Island, Illinois. 🎰♣️🃏

She was built by Leevac Shipyard in Jennings, Louisiana in 1991 and began service as the Casino Riverboat in 1992. She only sailed for a few years before the land-based casino went into operation and the Riverboat became Obsolete.
