Fun Facts About Mark Twain Riverboat

Built in 1955, this was the first paddlewheeler built in over 50 years when it was completed. It was built at the Disney Studios, except for the hull which was built at a shipyard in San Pedro. It made its first voyage four days before Disneyland opened to the public, for Walt and Lillian Disney's 30th wedding anniversary.
