Mobil Joliet (continued from page 34) from the toilet drains, and is valved to discharge to the sewage holding tank, overboard, or to a flanged con- nection on the main deck.

Seven staterooms are provided on the second deck for the captain, pilot, guest, and four crew cabins.

All living quarters, lounge, galley, mess, and pilothouse are air condi- tioned with either hot or chilled water circulated through McQuay and Burnham fan coil units. A com- bination heating and air condition- ing system is installed. The primary source of heating is circulating water through an Alfa-Laval heat exchanger utilizing the generator diesels' cooling water system. The secondary source of heating is by a

Keewanee oil-fired boiler. The air conditioning system is a Carrier 20- ton, packaged liquid chiller refriger- ation unit with two 10-hp electric compressors.

Navigation and communications equipment includes two Decca ra- dars, two Uniden VHF-FM radio- telephones, one Motorola Modar

Triton SSB radio, one Anschutz swingmeter, one Elac LAZ depth sounder, a Hose McCann sound- powered telephone system, and Du- kane intercom and public address systems.

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.

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.
