The Songo River Queen II is a diesel-powered[2] stern paddle-wheeler, built as a replica of the steam-powered vessels that traveled the Mississippi River and can hold up to 300 people. The paddlewheeler is known for becoming landlocked in Long Lake in September 2011, after a 20-year career on the Songo River, due to the construction of a fixed bridge on Naples Causeway.[3][4]
