In the fight to stay afloat, the crew of the Delta Queen has taken their battle from the waters to the internet.

They've produced a video asking Congress to save the historic boat and posted it on youtube.com.

They're asking you to watch the video, give it a five star rating, leave a comment, and then send it to everyone you know.

The owners of the Delta Queen have operated the passenger steamer under a Safety of Life At Seas Exemption, which expires this year.

Proposed legislation would extend the exemption to November 1st, 2018.
