Ship From Movie "The African Queen" To Be Restored

According to an online BBC report, the one and only "African Queen," the ship Bogie and Katharine Hepburn made famous, will be restored and used for tours in the Florida Keys.  The vessel, in its unglamorous, non-Hollywood state, has been sitting at a dry dock next to (ironically) a Key Largo hotel for around a decade. Apparently, its owner now has enough funding to get the boat ship-shape and ready for tourists.

It's safe to say the eponymous movie's actors or its director, John Huston, won't be resurrected for this venture.
