The National Trust released its 29th annual list of endangered places in the United States it believes are at greatest risk of being lost.
Among its endangered places for 2016 is the Delta Queen steamboat. Built in 1926, today it is among the very last of its kind. The trust hopes this recognition will help the Delta Queen reestablish her grandfathered status allowing her to once again sail the Mississippi River, and support efforts to provide long-term protection for the boat’s historic integrity.
Since 1988, the list has included more than 270 threatened one-of-a-kind treasures. Fewer than 5% have been lost.
