<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 8301996, member: 13605"]I live just sixty miles from the Museum. It is fabulous. We first went there a few years after they opened the museum. The family would give a talk before you began the self guided tour. Amazing story. Now the grandchildren are grown up and taking their place. The family had located dozens of wrecks to be dug up and offered to help people get started. No one did so they have started a dig less than 30 miles from my house at Malta Bend . A number of towns along the Missouri River are named after ships that sunk. The neat thing they are doing is inviting high school students out to map the ship and participate in the process. I plan on taking our granddaughters out to see the site when they are out visiting. The most amazing part is that they knew nothing about preserving and restoring and they have done all of this and still continue to clean and restore items from the Arabia. Join their Facebook page and they highlight items and their restoration. After being buried for 150 years , the preserved pickles and cherries were still edible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
