The American Heritage cruise ship that was struck by a tanker in New Orleans Friday is an 11-year-old vessel and can accommodate up to 150 passengers.

Big picture view: The ship was built in 2015, according to American Cruise Lines, the company that operates it.

The ship was originally known as the Queen of the Mississippi, but in 2022, American Cruise Lines rebranded their ships to include the word "American" in ship names.
