Mississippi River Reflections: Delta Queen: Henry Miller Shreve of Shreveport, LA, developed the prototype of all Mississippi River steamboats in 1816. The height of the steamboat era was between the years 1820-1870. Sternwheeler Delta Queen was the last paddlewheel steamboat built with wood in the superstructure in the year 1928. As the Delta Queen steams down the River, she provides a view quite common in the 1800s when tons of material and thousand of people moved the easiest or most comfortable way.
