Historical Notes
George Schneider (July 2026) writes: This was the first vessel in the "Chicago's Lady" fleet of classic yacht-style tour boats.
In 2025 Mercury Sightseeing began removing the "Chicago's" from the vessel names and now brand themselves as First Lady.com.
She had just been renamed at the time of this photo.
