Spirit of Sacramento

[Eliminator21vdrive]

Went for a cruse up river to Verona where the Sac and feather merge and saw this

So after Pulling out at Elkhorn (Completely revamped and larger parking lot now) drove up the garden highway to find it.

Wow what a beauty! Sad to see it in this condition and so once i returned home found this! The Duke himself once owned it!!!

The Spirit of Sacramento: an abandoned riverboat with a fascinating tale

The Spirit of Sacramento has a colorful history including being in a movie with John Wayne. Now, it's become an amazing roadside attraction.

Very cool.
Amazing how history is so easily lost to time.

The question is. Is the ramp at Verona still closed??

Not one boat in a slip there. Douno about the ramp

It has been there for years. It was at a marina called Rio Ramaza. Whoever owned it stopped paying rent, so they moved it to where it is now and cabled it to some trees. Maybe it was in the article posted above, but John Wayne used to own the boat, and it was in his movie Blood Alley. This pic is from about 8 years ago.

The Delta King (get your pronouns straight. ) is still in Old Sacramento.

I don't remember where the Delta Queen is. I want to say on the Mississippi River.

The Delta “He/Him” King is permanently moored in Old Sacramento, CA
It’s a unique place to stay, I live here and have stayed a couple of times.
