I believe the pic is the Doris E.

That is Doris. I always can tell from the stern. This great shot (one of my favorites) of the ladies shows the difference:

After renting for many many years across from FL#1 watching them both come and go .... you get better at learning to distinguish them.

Easiest way still is try to make out whether its one line of print or two on the bow ..... although you can't read them - it is discernible from quite a distance.

From a profile view, the rub-rail on the Sophie C has a 'step' just aft of the bow, where the Doris E has a rub-rail that follows a continuous line.

That's actually how I chose Doris E for the Pic that Don posted, the Bow numbers were not visible do to glare.

but quite honestly with my aging brain ... I never seem to remember which has the step vs not

Our family chartered the Sophie for a "big" birthday celebration a few years back. It. Was. Awesome! The Captain helped us choose the route and it was great. If you ever have the chance I would recommend it. Everyone in our party had a wonderful time.
