African Queen
The old steamboat from the 1951 film of the same name, now carrying passengers on cruises along the canals of Key Largo.
The African Queen was built in 1912 and became famous through the film *The African Queen*, starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. The hull is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The restored steamboat docks near Mile Marker 100 on Key Largo and offers about 1.5-hour cruises through the canals and bay, along with dinner cruises. The boat is small with limited seats, so book ahead during peak season. Even if you don't take a ride, you can visit the dock for free and see this movie-star boat.
