I wrote a song in 1967 that was recorded by the Five Americans called “7:30 Guided Tour.” Among other points of interest in Europe, it mentioned the Riverboat Club in Berlin. The verse was
There’ll be no cameras taken on this portion of the trip
Best Leave them all behind
They confiscated mine
For taking pictures of their paradise
Now we’re crossing The Wall
I hear the good times call
Up to the fourth floor
Gonna ride the Riverboat Home
I have not been able to find any photos or information about the Riverboat. My daughter has recorded that song and we plan to do a video so it would be great to get some neat photos to use in the video.
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks,

I was there in July of 1967 and all I remember is that it was on top of a building very close to the Wall so that all the folks in the East could see what a great time you can have in a free country.
