Video script – Queen of the Mississippi Christening
Nashville, Tennessee – known for Country Music, The Grand Ole Opry, Blues, the world famous “Broadway honky-tonks” and – after today — home of christening the Mississippi River’s first paddlewheeler in nearly 20 years.
American Cruise Lines christened their 150-passenger paddlewheerler Queen of the Mississippi today in downtown Nashville, Tennessee on the Cumberland River in front of a sold out sailing. Godmother and small ship expert Phyllis Dale christened to vessel by busting the traditional bottle of champagne over the bow of the ship.
After the celebratory bottle of champagne was broken the CEO of American Cruise Lines, Charles Robertson, presented the emotional godmother with a plaque celebrating the milestone. (OMIT)
