This is the Lexington, a custom-designed 75-foot two-level paddle wheel boat operated by the Charles River Boat Company that offers cruises in Boston Harbor. .
It provides passenger cruises in Boston harbor and was especially popular this past week with the tall ships docked in the harbor. A properly loaded and balanced boat sits relatively flat on the water like in the above photo.
But, when it leans to one side as seen above, it usually points to uneven weight distribution as the most common culprit. In the case of this leaning paddle wheeler, passengers were most likely gathering to one side as it passed by the tall ships. Watching from our tour boat, I hoped it wouldn't capsize.
Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
It's going to be a quiet one in Nashua, NH.

It occurs to me that my comment yesterday may have sounded snarkier than intended. 🤓
...I'm reminded of, "Tip a Canoe and Tyler Too."
I've never seen nor have heard of the Lexington. It doesn't quite look like Boston. Your an even see all the people on the port side. Happy Friday. hugs-Erika
