Directions You can find directions to the Lantern Queen from almost anywhere on our directions page.
Weather Rain and snow generally do not disrupt the Lantern Queen's schedule. The only weather that we truly dread is wind. Heavy wind makes maneuvering the Lantern Queen difficult.
Cancellation Only in extreme conditions will the event be cancelled by RCT. If, in the opinion of the Lantern Queen crew, conditions on the Susquehanna River pose a safety risk, the Lantern Queen will remain docked and the event will continue as planned while moored at the dock. Likewise, in the case of mechanical failure that prevents cruising, he event will be held while docked.
Propulsion & Fuel The Lantern Queen is propelled by the paddlewheels only! A Detroit Diesel engine powers two hydraulic pumps, which in turn power two hydraulic motors, which turn the paddlewheels. In addition, the diesel engine powers a 30KW generator which provides all the electric power we need. Amazingly we burn less than 5 gallons of diesel per hour, making the Lantern Queen a very efficient and environmentally friendly vessel!
