Earlier links discussed it. The General Slocum was a vessel much like the Delta Queen. It caught fire long ago and burnt to a cinder quickly. It had a ghastly scene where women tossed babies overboard in cork lifesavers only to watch the children drown as the lifesaver broke apart.

Since the 1960’s, laws regarding cruise ships operating inside the US have gotten much stricter. Consequently, there are are only a handful of US flagged cruise ships left operating.
There is a presumption that a wooden superstructure is inherently more flammable than steel.
