I'd like to see that, Ragman, whether it be the Monticello or another from the Civil WR or the Rachel as one poster indicated.
I've spent part of my afternoon today at the Steamboat Arabia Museum in KC, which sunk in the Big Mo on Sept 05, 1856, and had been buried in a cornfield until 1988 when it was rediscovered. An amazing amount of treasure and artifacts, which has become the largest repository of merchandise, clothing, hardware, etc from pre-Civil War America. Truly fascinating.
