Steamboat NATCHEZ in "Lay-up"

The Steamboat NATCHEZ left her French Quarter dock early January 4th.  She is on her way to the shipyard for her annual "lay-up", which is spa-time for this 40 year old boat.  From painting, to carpets and mechanical equipment  to steam engines - the NATCHEZ crew takes this time to give her some tender loving care.  She will return to service on January 30th.  Stay tuned for news and progress reports.
