Does anyone know what became of the passenger boat Americana that ran out of Buffalo in the late 80's? (Not to be confused with the original steamer Americana, which was the running mate and near-sister of the Canadiana.) The later Americana was previously the Block Island, and originally built as the steamer Fisher's Island built in 1926. She was brought up from the East Coast to run cruises out of Buffalo for a couple of years, and I believe she ended up back on the coast somewhere. I can't seem to find any info online though.
