Do you remember that old 40's song, "Cruising down the river, on a Sunday afternoon..?" I could never figure out why some wealthy entrepreneur didn't revive tours along the Delaware. Even Mark Twain must be shaking his head in disbelief. Even as the Mississippi still has riverboats plying up and down river, one would think that the Delaware would be a wonderful spot for a riverboat casino, or for non-gamblers, a romantic ride from Trenton to Delaware Bay. My Niece Gwen is a croupier on a Mississippi steamboat out of St. Louis. They ARE "Cruisin' down the River on a Sunday afternoon..!" Not from Trenton, but from Burlington. Check out this email from my Groveville historian Gary Lippincott:
Speaking of River Cruises, this is worth a ride to Burlington, Just to see this at the Water Front. I don't expect you to advertise for these guys, but it is a beautiful boat. I think one of their dinner cruses would be fun. This would be nice, tied up at the Trenton Marine Terminal.
Thanks, Gary.
