What is Lady Liberty?
Lady Liberty is a custom-built, 62-foot luxury yacht offering scenic cruises on Table Rock Lake at Big Cedar Lodge. Inspired by the elegance of 1920s steamboats, the vessel combines vintage charm with modern comforts for a truly unique yachting experience in the Ozarks.
Why is the yacht named Lady Liberty?
The yacht was renamed Lady Liberty in 2012 after being purchased by Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops and Big Cedar Lodge. The name honors the vessel’s original role in New York Harbor, where it hosted Statue of Liberty cruises celebrating American history and freedom.
Where did Lady Liberty originate?
Originally commissioned in 2003 and built in 2004, the yacht—then named Noa Danielle—was designed to operate in New York Harbor. Its design was inspired by early 20th-century passenger steamboats and featured a Roaring Twenties, Great Gatsby–style interior.
When did Lady Liberty arrive in the Ozarks?
Lady Liberty departed New York Harbor on May 28, 2012, and made its journey to Missouri via a combination of coastal travel and overland transport. After renovations, it became part of the Big Cedar Lodge experience, with cruise bookings opening to guests in 2014.
