I love that kind of stuff.


The Arabia sank just a few miles above Kansas City... 7 miles I believe and it has been displayed at the City Market in downtown KC, MO.since the beginning. They found jars of pickled vegetables that were edible.
At Miami, MO. there's a big rock with a large iron ring where they used to tie up the steamboats and I've heard that there is a rock outcropping at Arrow Rock with several rings in it for the boats. Arrow Rock was where the Santa Fe Trail started in the beginning .
