[4] The last of the original traveling showboats, Majestic was built in 1923 in Pittsburgh,[5] and plied the Ohio River and other portions of its watershed for many years, offering shows at towns along the way.

In December 2014, longtime drama professor, Tom Weatherston, produced a documentary about the alliance and life on the showboat.

[8] She was forced into dry dock in 1965 by the Safety at Sea Act, which prohibited wooden-hulled vessels from transporting cast and crew on overnight journeys,[7] though by that time the condition of her hull was fast deteriorating.

The outer steel hull was added at that time,[7] as were other modernizing conveniences, including air conditioning.

[12] The showboat was cared for by the cast and crew of Cincinnati Landmark Productions, captained by Tim Perrino for 23 years, until March 2019.

She was purchased in a public auction for over $100K by Joe and Cortnee Brumley and on April 4, 2019 left drydock on the Cincinnati Riverfront to be pushed upstream to Manchester, Ohio to property the Brumley's purchased to develop into a tourist attraction, including using her as an Airbnb bed and breakfast.

Brumley was concerned that the showboat be moved as quickly as possible to prevent damage from Ohio River floods.

[25] According to The Waterways Journal Weekly, the city revolked the license due to environmental concerns and lack of insurance on the showboat.

[28] In January 2023, it was reported by The Ledger Independent that the showboat was moored along the Ohio River in an area along Maysville’s west end.
