Excerpts from American West Steamboat's Website The three story high paddlewheel fully propels the vessel on our leisurely cruise pace of up to 10 knots. To steer the vessel, the Empress of the North employs two Z-drive propeller pods, which rotate 360 degrees to provide unequalled maneuverability. When used with the paddlewheel, these Z-drives propel the Empress of the North at speeds of up to 14 knots, providing time to include all the major attractions of the Inside Passage.
