The spurt in designing and building casino and show boats for the U. S. inland waterways over the last few years opened up an opportunity for naval architects and marine engineers to work with a variety of imaginative boats. For example, on the newly built Grand Palais and Crescent City Queen, six 1200 r/min generator sets based on Caterpillar 3516TA engines and 1090 kW, 600-V Kato generators provide power to operate paddlewheels, Z-drives, and a complex of equipment. This paper describes the design, layout and electrical equipment and propulsion of the ships.
