Great exhibit of life on the river 100 years ago.
You get to learn about the Bertrand was launched in Wheeling, West Virginia in 1864. At 161 feet (49 m) long, with a beam of 32 feet (9.8 m); its burden total 251 tons. A shallow-draft vessel, it drew only 18 inches (46 cm) when light, and perhaps no more than twice that when loaded.nnOwnership of the Bertrand differ, but it probably belonged to the Montana and Idaho Transportation Line, based in St. Louis, Missouri. The firm was owned in part by John J. Roe of St. Louis.nnOn April 1, 1865, under the command of Captain James Yore, the steamboat struck a submerged log in the Desoto Bend of the Missouri River, about 25 miles (40 km) upstream from Omaha, Nebraska. In less than ten minutes, it sank in 12 feet (3.7 m) of water. No people died, the estimated value of vessel and entire cargo was lost combined was $100,000.
We brought our grandkids. Did not realize it was closed on Columbus day and did not even know it was Columbus Day. A big disappointment for us as we were so excited to share this with them. They enjoyed the wild life site and enjoyed peeking out the windows and the different tracks in the sidewalk.
