  • National Historic Landmark – Listed December 20, 1989
  • National Register of Historic Places – Listed December 20, 1989 (No. 80003085)

Significance: Built in 1923, the Majestic is one of two surviving showboats, the other being Goldenrod, located in St. Charles, Missouri. Perhaps the most extraordinary American adaptation of barges, more than 50 showboats carried circuses and dramatic productions to large and small towns on the rivers of America between 1831 and the 1920s. The Majestic is docked at the Cincinnati Public Landing on the Ohio River.
