This is the Lexington, a custom-designed 75-foot two-level paddle wheel boat operated by the Charles River Boat Company in Boston.
But, when it lists as seen above, it could mean that uneven weight distribution is the cause. In the above photo, passengers were probably gathering to one side as it passed by the tall ships. Apparently, this listing is common as there have been no reported capsizes and the Lexington has safely cruised Boston Harbor for years.
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
Really, AC?
That looks precarious.
Beautiful boat, the leaning is scary!

That would be a little creepy! At least it's close to shore!
Oh my! I think the boat captain should have warned them to take turns going to the side, rather than all going at once! I hope they had their life jackets on! LOL. Glad nothing "flipped over".
It really is a gorgeous boat. And what a timely post. There was just an accident like this, and many people were hurt or died. Ironically enough, they were on the boat for a funeral of spreading ashes.
Yikes. I hope the crew knows to the last skinny kid what that thing will tolerate.
It would make me uneasy to be on this boat!
That does look rather precarious!
All the best Jan
Beautiful boat, but I’d be clutching the railing if I were on board. Happy Friday!
you would think that the people ON the boat would realize it and some would give up the view to right the boat. Nope! looks like they were ready to swim with the tall ships. My first thought on photo #1 was this doesn't look like a boat in Boston. the boston in my head, because I have never been there
Wow, that listing would be a bit unnerving ...

dear Dorothy ,boat looks elegant and majestic indeed
your description of how it sits and the way it causes disruption seemed concerning at first but you made it clear that no harm is done meanwhile
It is a beautiful boat. I'll bet it was a great cruise.
Yes, the listing looks a bit alarming but as you say there have been no reported capsizes.
