/* Ship Structure */
==Ship Structure==
The Liberty Belle Riverboat is a three deck working steamship that has a maximum capacity of 450 people <ref> http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/magickingdom/lib-riverboat.htm </ref>. Guests enter the ship on the middle deck, which features a sitting room, and an outside wheelhouse , and the captains captain's quarters. Sometimes one lucky family is selected to ride the boat in the captains captain's quarters.
The On the bottom deck of the boat, is where guests scan can see the ships ship's boiler and pistons. The lower deck is also the location of a recently added "viewing platform" <ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2010/03/liberty_belle_riverboat_part_2.html </ref>. Located at the front of the ship, the platform allows guests to get great views of all the attractions attraction's scenes. Finally, on the top deck, guests get the best view of the various sights. There is also limited seating available here.  Although a functioning steamship, the Liberty Square Riverboat is guided on an "I-beam" track that is hidden by the Rivers of America's murky water. The boat is also staffed by two crew members. The ride operator, who sits on the ship's top deck where he rings the bell, triggers the narration and blows the whistle. Down in the ship's boiler room, the engineer controls the ship's speed. As previously noted, the Liberty Square Riverboat is a working steamship, and thus the boat is propelled by the paddle wheel that is itself propelled by the steam engine <ref> http://www.disneydining.com/7-amazing-features-of-the-liberty-square-riverboat/ </ref>.
