The Mississippi Queen was placed in New Orleans at Perry Street Wharf after it was destroyed, initially for renovation. However, on the contrary, the steamer was sold for scrap in May 2009. He was withdrawn for the last time to Morgan City, Louisiana on March 24, 2011 to be felled. Demolition began on April 7 that year, rumors have been mentioned.
During a news broadcast on MSNBC from a German protest of the G20 in 2017, a video shows a ferry named Mississippi Queen docked in Hamburg Germany. This ferry is much smaller than, and certainly not, the original Mississippi Queen.
