There was a Boat Bid against New Orleans for the 1988 worldcon.
NoLaCon II thankfully had the French Quarter to go to, otherwise the =
concom would still be swinging from lampposts.

	As I recall, the previous proposal was that the con would be held =
on
a luxury liner crusing the site of Atlantis, or the Bermuda Triangle or
both.

If there wasn't an Atlantis bid, there should be! I'll mention it to Steve
Aines, perpetrator of the Not Dundalk and 95 in 95 bids.

	Well, there was a historical proposal to name the American
continents "Atlantis."  And wasn't there an Atlantis Worldcon bid?
