Description
"Here Lies The Bertrand" is the heading on the wooden tombstone marking the spot where the 100-year-old boat rests 12 feet below water on De Soto National Wildlife Refuge. The marker, designed by Refuge Manager James Salyer, shown with the tombstone, will serve to inform the public with a brief story about the boat while studies are being made on how to best preserve and display the historic relic. In the meantime, a white rope outlines the position of the Bertrand underwater, just as it was found, covered with sand and water to prevent deterioration.
