Seen here in 2011, the Goldenrod Showboat was abandoned and left to rot at a mooring on the Illinois River. Preservationists attempted first to restore the boat to working condition, but it continued to sustain damage; they then removed the pilot house and some interior furnishings to preserve as museum pieces.

The remainder of the boat was destroyed by arsonists on October 20, 2017.
