Ahoy, come aboard the Queen II cruise ship for an excursion on the blue waters of West Lake Okoboji. This ship is a symbol of the Iowa Great Lakes and a summer favorite for tourists and locals alike.
The Queen II set out on her maiden voyage on June 21, 1986 with the late Captain Steve Kennedy at its helm who captained this ship until his death in 2002.
The original Queen was a steamship that sailed the waters of the Iowa Great Lakes from the 1890s until 1973, it is currently lying dormant at Adventureland Amusement Park near Des Moines, Iowa.
