I was there in about '64 when they brought up the U.S.
S. Cairo, a Union ironclad torpedoed and sunk on the Mississippi, from the river bottom. I am one of the few who ever stood on her bridge. We climbed all over her engines and boilers as well. She's in a nearby park now. We were actually there to visit the sternwheeler riverboat Sprague. The remains of the Cairo were on the wharf..
