Chattanooga is a very busy town especially being right on a major river. The marina we are in is right on the river.

 

Not far from us is a steam boat called the Southern Belle. They give rides up and down the river and while they are cruising a calliope plays music.

There is a paddle boat (Delta Queen) across the river that is now used as a hotel and restaurant.

 

You can also get a ride in an amphibious auto.

 

Every where you look there is a piece of history that comes alive. 175 years ago Native Americans that lived here for centuries were forced out of their homes during an event that is now known as the Trail of Tears.  This event is remembered through a public art memorial known as “the Passage”.
