Let 's face it. In order to stay afloat today, ship- ping companies need to squeeze the most out of every dollar spent and continue to find ways to make their fleet more efficient. One way to protect prof its is by upgrading a vessel s conventional bottom paint to Farboil's Sta Clean. Sta Clean, a chlorinated rubber coating, provides longer exposure time as much as 30 months! That means extended periods between those costly drydockings And Sta Clean reduces expensive labor time by going on 5 mis. thick with one coat and can even be applied over existing paint. Since it's a one-pack system, Sta Clean requires no pre-mixing and dries quickly at most temperatures So the next time you're concerned about cut- ting costs, don't cut corners — use Sta Clean and protect your bottom line now and later.

Circle 175 on Reader Service Card 38 MUSIC CITY QUEEN Marine Builders The new 400-passenger Music City Queen (shown above) was christened recently in her home port of Nashville, Tenn., according to Dr. Hugh D. Claughton, owner and president of Belle Carol Riverboat Company of that city. His daughter, Carol Ann Claughton, was the vessel's sponsor. The 135-foot luxury riverboat was built by Marine Builders in Utica, Ind. She sailed down the Ohio River to Paducah, Ky., then up the Cum- berland River to Nashville. The fourth vessel in the company's fleet, the Queen sails on regularly sched- uled cruises from Nashville's Down- town Riverfront Park, which was the original site for docking of steamboats about the turn of the century. "The Music City Queen has been created in the tradition of the stern- wheeler riverboats that dominated Southern rivers in the 1800s," ex- plains Dr. Claughton, "and has a decor designed to transport passen- gers back in time to an era in history when riverboats were the source of entertainment, fine dining, and es- cape from the fast pace of life." The first deck houses a catering area, bar/lounge, dining room, and stage for the variety of musical groups and entertainers who appear nightly. The second deck has its own bar, lounge, and dining area. From this deck passengers can ob- serve the entertainment on the main deck. These two enclosed, air condi- tioned decks provide year-round comfort where passengers can enjoy dining then take moonlight walks on the two upper decks.
