American Queen in Le Claire Iowa
The nice thing about a video camera on a cell phone is that I am able to quickly film the riverboat American Queen while getting ready for work in the morning. The bad thing is that the video is completely out of perspective. This riverboat is HUGE and I mean HUGE! The vessel is 6 stories tall and the paddle wheel dwarfs a any man standing near it. I hope you enjoy the video anyway! Sept 30 2015
