Description

The paddle steamer Louisiana Star on the Elbe River in the Hamburg Harbor, Germany. Operated by the Louisiana Starboat Company, the boat is used for events and sightseeing primarily around the harbor area. The steamer was built in Germany to resemble the classic steamers one would associate with the Southern US, whereas the rear wheel motion is for aesthetic purposes only and the boat is driver by more conventional means. People can be seen on deck enjoying the view and Summer weather, with container terminals in the background.
