The photos above are from the Showboat Branson Belle. Her maiden voyage was market with thousands of bananas which were used to launch her into Table Rock Lake April 13, 1995 - where whe has lived ever since. Show tunes, smooth jazz while dinner is being served, world class acrobatics and a comedic close make the attraction a must see. Once owned by Kenny Rogers, locals speculate the plan was that the vessel would serve as a gambling operation - today the attraction is owned by Herschend Family Entertainment.
