Majestic, Historic showboat theater in Cincinnati, United States.
The Majestic features a wooden hull encased in steel, measuring 135 feet in length with a 40-foot beam on the Ohio River.
Built in Pittsburgh in 1923, the Majestic earned National Historic Landmark status in 1989 as the last floating theater constructed in the United States.
From 1965 to 1988, the University of Cincinnati operated summer stock theater programs aboard the vessel, presenting performances for local audiences.
The theater vessel requires regular maintenance and specialized docking facilities to preserve its wooden structure and meet maritime safety regulations.
Without an onboard motor, the Majestic relied on a dedicated tugboat named Attaboy to transport it between performance locations along the Ohio River.
