Description
Arrows indicate an edge of the port side, at left, and one rudder post of a river boat which has been buried under sand in the Missouri River bottom area for close to 100 years. The excavation is in the De Soto Bend wildlife refuge and is by Jesse Pursell and Sam Corbino of Omaha who hope the wreckage is that of the Bertrand, which sand around 1865. The river has since changed its course and the boat had become covered by several feet of sand.
