Mississippi Flag Tapestries
Description: Alabama is the thirty-first largest state in the United States with 52,423 square miles (135,775 km²) of total area. 3.19% of the area is water, making Alabama twenty-third in the amount of surface water, also giving it the second largest inland waterway system in the United States. About three-fifths of the land area is a plain with a general downward slope towards the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. North Alabama has mostly mountains, with the Tennessee River cutting a large valley creating many creeks, streams, rivers, mountains, and lakes. The states bordering Alabama are Tennessee to the north; Georgia to the east; Florida to the south; and Mississippi to the west.
Description: The Delta Queen paddles down the Mississippi under the slogan STEAMBOAT VACATIONS ON AMERICA'S GREAT RIVERS, her red paddlewheel churning and black smoke trailing from the stack. Passengers line the deck as green hills roll past in this mid-century riverboat travel illustration.
