This issue made me wondering if there are still steam ships travelling on the Danube as I have not seen one for a long time and it seems there is also only one left anymore. It does only make special tours from time to time anymore and is called "Schönbrunn".

Wow! That's beautiful! Make sure you go on one of the tours before anything happens to her. And please, contact our congressmen and let them know you care what happens to the Queen. Maybe if they see worldwide interest they'll rethink their position.
