The "African Queen" (also known as "S/L Livingstone") is the boat used in the movie "The African Queen". It is located at 99701 Overseas Highway in Key Largo, Florida. On February 18, 1992, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The boat is in a poor state of repair (March 2007): birds dropping, etc.Probably because the former captain and owner, Jim Hendricks, died a few years ago.His son has a souvenir shop in the hotel beside the boat.
