NOW: Elkhart River Queen officially relaunches after multiple failed attempts

ELKHART, Ind. - After two failed attempts, the Elkhart River Queen is officially back on the water Tuesday night.

Monday night, the boat failed to launch after a mechanical issue with a crane.

Last week, crews failed to launch the Queen after discovering a leak in one of the engines.

Now, the 75-year-old Elkhart River Queen is officially back on the St. Joe River.
