[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The "Liberty Belle Riverboat" is the current river boat that roams the "Rivers of America" at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park.

The original boat, an authentic sternwheeler steamboat called the Admiral Joe Fowler, was built in dry dock at Walt Disney World and set afloat when the attraction opened on May 20, 1973. The Richard F. Irvine was later added as a second boat. After its extensive rehab in the '90s, the boat was renamed the Liberty Belle in 1996.

In 1980, the Admiral Joe Fowler was sent to dry dock maintenance and never returned.

Admiral Joe Fowler was in charge of construction at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

The Rivers of America wind their way around Tom Sawyer Island. The half-mile journey takes just under 17 minutes to travel. The Liberty Belle departs several times a day from the Liberty Boat Landing. Although there are some seats, most areas are standing room only.
