Other notes: 

In the summer of 2006, the Silver Queen underwent a retrofit that included new carriers (CWA Omega III), upgraded contours, a new drive, and the terminal equipment was painted a new color. In the summer of 2005, the grips were rebuilt. The first eighteen pictures show the gondola with original cabins. The second fourteen show the gondola post retrofit.
