Paddlewheel Boat Revives Nashville's River Heritage
Description
Nashvilles East Bank Reborn: The Capitol Paddlewheel Boat Arrives
The Capitol, an 88-built paddlewheel boat, has docked at Nashvilles Cumberland River port, marking a new era for river action in the city. Operated by Floridas Manthey Hospitality, it offers sightseeing tours, brunch, and dinner cruises, with tickets starting at $39.95. The company plans to expand with the Steamer Nashville this fall, one of only three working Western river steamboats in America. The Capitol, previously the Spirit of Peoria, fills the gap left by the retired Music City Queen. The boats christening was attended by locals and leaders, who see it as a revival of Nashvilles river roots, boosting tourism and local businesses.
