Hanoi Hattie - Did You Know?
1/25/2006

By: Tina

Did you know that in the 60's the Jungle Cruise had a boat named Hanoi Hattie?

The reason she is no longer named this is because it called the attention of the returning Viet Nam Veterans and they felt it was a bit inflammatory! So now you will find Yangzee Lotus, Congo Queen and others, but no mention of this craft.
