In 2014, the city of Louisville, Kentucky hosted a multi-day event for the Belle of Louisville’s 100th birthday! Not only could festival goers enjoy cruises on the birthday boat but several others boats, including the B&B Riverboats fleet, Spirit of Peoria, and even the American Queen made the trip to town for the party. In 20 years, will there be a 125th celebration?

Halifax, Nova Scotia is home to a friendly little tugboat. If you haven’t heard of Theodore Tugboat, he was the main character of a children’s show in the 1980s and 1990s. See the intro song here.

During the tourism season (ending in late October), he welcomes fans for a 30 minute tour of the Halifax harbor and introduces you to his friends from the show. This experience is not only for kids. In fact, of the 13 on board, only 3 were kids. Thirty minutes may seem a bit short but was a perfect amount of time to explore the harbor.
