Arkansas Queen Riverboat
The Arkansas Queen was built in 1994 at Freeport Shipyard in Florida. She was designed by the Naval Architectural Firm of DeJong and LeBet.
Originally named the Peconic River Queen, the vessel was two decks high as it cruised under a fixed low bridge on her way up the Peconic Sound on Long Island, New York.
The current owners bought the boat in 2002 and took it to Serodino Marine in Chattanooga, Tennessee where the pilot house was raised, a third open deck and taller stacks were added. The interior was extensively remodeled into an elegant replica of the grand steamboat era. It operated in Tunica, Mississippi from 2003-2005.
Now, sporting a brand new Calliope, the Arkansas Queen is berthed at the North Shore Maritime Center in North Little Rock.
The complex includes the Arkansas Queen Riverboat and 1939 Towboat M/V Patriot which serves as a wharf boat with offices, reception area and gift shop, the Arkansas Inland Marine Museum, and the USS Razorback Submarine.

Hours of Operation: Mon-Fri 7am-5pm
Constructed between 1899 and 1915 on the former site of the state penitentiary, the Arkansas State Capitol is the vital heart of the state's government. Rich in history, craftsmanship and architectural distinction, the Neo-Classical structure won general praise for its elegant proportions. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, elected officials, legislators, committees and delegations carry on "the people's business" while thousands of visitors enjoy the Capitol's warm welcome. Permanent exhibits chart the history of the Capitol, while changing displays in the first-floor galleries highlight aspects of Arkansas history, art and popular culture. Portraits of past governors, Supreme Court Justices and legislators bring visitors "face to face" with the men and women who have shaped Arkansas. Guided tours are available on weekdays; reservations are advised.
