From the Tall Stacks Wikipedia entry:
Tall Stacks was a festival held every three or four years in the Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, area, which celebrated the city’s heritage of the riverboat. The sixth (and, to date, final) edition was held on October 4 to 8, 2006.
The festival typically featured a number of vintage and replica steamboats from across the eastern United States, which docked along the Ohio River shoreline in Cincinnati and across the river in Covington and Newport, Kentucky.
17 riverboats took part in the 2006 festival, including the Delta Queen, Belle of Louisville, General Jackson, Natchez, Mississippi Queen and Majestic
