Whoa - hold on - irony of irony here - The African Queen is In Key Largo?
Yes. About two miles down the road from where "Key Largo" was filmed the African Queen is on display in the marina between the Holiday Inn and the Ramada.
If you love old movies, if you love Bogart, you will love this. It is fantastic. You can see the decrepit old boat - and apparently you can even take a tour on it. Movie Magic, movie history, right there.
An unexpected pleasure. -

Humprey Bogart and Katherine Hepburns original movie boat "The African Queen" is on free public display behind the glass bottom boat on an ocean access canal adjoining The Key Largo Holiday Inn.
The African Queen was built in Lytham, England in 1912 for service on the Victoria Nile and Lake Albert where the movie was filmed in 1951. She was used by the British East Africa Company from 1912 to 1968 to shuttle passengers and cargo across Lake Albert located on the border between the Belgian Congo and Uganda.
I would not go out of my way to see this, but if you are there take a look. It is need of cleaning and repair.Listed in: Florida Parks and Historical…
