M.V. Sergeant Floyd: Sergeant Floyd Welcome Center and River Museum

In 1989 the M.V. Sergeant Floyd was made a National Landmark and converted into the Sergeant Floyd Welcome Center and River Museum. Modern heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing facilities had to be added along with a elevator to take people with disabilities on the second deck.

Though she no longer serves from within the water she still proudly serves the tri-state area of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota with her crew of employees and volunteers at "her controls" with a friendly welcome to anyone who stops by for a visit.

In 2014 the M.V. Sergeant Floyd celebrated her 25th anniversary as the welcome center and museum.

She is never able to float in the water again.

M.V. Sergeant Floyd: Coming Ashore

The City of Sioux City purchased the M.V. Sergeant Floyd after learning of her retirement because of the historical connection she has to the area. In 1983 she was floated into the adjacent marina, dragged out of the water and hoisted onto her then new, permanent, dry dock home on the Sioux City River Front.
