Bob, He contacted me about a Colorado River Steamboat a few years ago also. I gues there is not enough salt water out there to keep him busy! Ted Miles ted_miles@nps.gov |

> sometimes the river has moved over a little > ??? Along those same lines, Texas A&M university has been excavating the Red River steamer "New York"(I think). what they have found so far is that it is a converted coastal sailing ship dating to the 1820's and having had machinery added. It sank near Ft Towson, Oklahoma sometime around 1838 or a little later, making it, I believe, the oldest extant steamboat. The pictures I have seen seem to indicate a remarkable state of preservation, the machinery being especially interesting. This didn't have a thing to do with trains, but it indicated what may be found if any lost locomotives are ever excavated. lorija799@aol.com |
