Last night, the National Rivers Hall of Fame had the distinct pleasure of honoring Captain Alan Bernstein with the Hall of Fame’s Achievement Award during the Passenger Vessel Association Annual Convention at MariTrends 2024 in Portland, Oregon. Capt. Bernstein was selected for his significant contributions to America’s rivers and the river industry, and it is apparent he has instilled that passion in his children who work alongside him at BB Riverboats. Please help us congratulate Alan on this tremendous achievement! Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gvaMYvR7
