On July 2, 1996, the City of Paducah was visited by marine royalty. All three of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company's boats docked simultaneously at the Port of Paducah. The Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen and American Queen frequent this community where they are enthusiastically welcomed by the volunteer organization of men and women who represent Paducah and McCracken County ~ the Paducah Ambassador. The "Red Coats" create an extravagant panorama of color on the waterfront for the landings and departures of the majestic queens. The Ambassador program was inaugurated by Mayor Gerry B. Montgomery in January of 1988.
