Arabia boat

            There is this boat called the Steamboat Arabia. It sunk 174 years ago in the Missouri! People have found it 20 years ago and put it in a museum. The boat was crafted in 1853. It sunk 3 years later. 130 Passengers were on it, but they all survived because the Missouri is shallow.



     There was lots of whiskey on the boat and it floated away and people heard this because they liked drinking :O. This ship sunk into the Missouri because the sand and mud swallowed it. The Museum took the boat and put it in the museum. The cells in wood that keeps wood together washed away so the museum people have to soak the wood daily to keep it intact. That is crazy!



This boat was sunken by a fallen tree on the river I think. Imagine a huge steamboat just sinking! Thankfully the crew and passengers survived. They found this steamboat on a cornfield! On land! Try to guess how a boat gets there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  There is something called meandering. A river never stays in one place. A river erodes and makes a new path. So the river is like this. ----_-----_______---.
And then 100 years later its like -____________---...:-----. The Museum retrieved many artifacts like cups, barrels, personal items, cans, gems, or anything you can find on a sunken boat. You can find this museum in Kansas City, Missouri. It'd be a cool place to visit! See colonial items and a tour of the boat.
