We traveled on the Natchez in June 2013 as part of our Southern States Road-trip.
The ninth and current Natchez, the SS. Natchez, is a sternwheel steamboat based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Built in 1975, she is sometimes referred to as the Natchez IX. She is operated by the New Orleans Steamboat Company and docks at the Toulouse Street Wharf. Day trips include harbor and dinner cruises along the Mississippi River.
Parts of the Natchez are authentic including the two steam engines, which were built for the sternwheeler Clairton in 1925.
Its copper and steel steam whistle comes from a steamboat that sank in the Monongahela river in 1908 and the copper bell was taken from another steamer. To produce a purer tone, the bell was inlaid with silver melted from 250 silver dollars.
