There is a new tour boat at Voyageur National Park.
The Voyageur has made her maiden voyage on Rainy Lake Saturday.
Minnesota Congressman Jim Oberstar, who help secured federal funding for the vessel, says it took a lot of work and effort to the voyage a reality.
"It's here and well worth the effort," says Oberstar, "While it may have taken seven years to get to this point, this vessel with good care can last 70 years.
The 49-passenger vessel adds to the fleet for two 24-passenger pontoon boats the park has used as tour boats for the past few years.
The park will begin offering public tours on the boat next June.
