The Showboat Branson Belle

We took a fun dinner cruise on the Branson Belle.

The Showboat was built in 1995 and weighs over 2,500,00 pounds.

The captain's wheel is 10 feet, 2inches in diameter and was restored
from a ship the C.C. Slider which operated from 1928 - 1952.


We felt very safe since Tom tried out the life preserver!

After dinner we had time to walk around the ship and deck.

It was a beautiful day for enjoying a cruise on a paddleboat.

We went to see George Dyer who is a very talented and gifted singer.
We were able to see several shows thanks to Wayne Leavitt.

performing in Branson for several years now.
