ST. LOUIS (AP) - A showboat that has been part of the St. Louis riverfront for decades in St. Louis and St. Charles could soon be headed for the scrap heap.

A court-ordered auction in Saturday at the location where the boat is docked near Kampsville, Ill. The auction seeks to cover nearly $70,000 in unpaid mooring fees and other costs.
Unless a buyer steps forward, the dock owner is expected to buy the boat and sell the furnishing and hull piecemeal.
