Tied up Saint John Marina (Ketepec).

It is my understanding the Marina plan to update vessel and operate it during the summer months as a tour/restaurant type facility on the St. John River. The paddle wheel was removed to enhance deck space for additional passenger capacity.

It was purchased by the Marina to replace the VOYAGEUR II (which was scrapped in August 2018).
