Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: This photograph shows downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River from the Kentucky shores. Also visible are PNC Tower and next to it Carew Tower, which was completed in 1931. The Island Queen is making its way down the Ohio River. The Island Queen, which leaves from Coney Island Wharf, is a steel, five deck boat. The white and green pleasure steamer, with room for 4,000 passengers, features a 20,000 square foot hardwood dance floor. This is the second Island Queen used to transport visitors to Coney Island. It was built in 1925 to replace the original, which burned in 1922. The boat hauls merrymakers from Cincinnati to Coney Island, 10 miles up the Ohio River, and back, which takes about half an hour, and is often ridden as an amusement unto itself. View on Ohio Memory.
