The remains of the North Alabama. (Credit: Missouri National Recreation Center) A steamboat that sunk in the Missouri River in 1870 has been exposed again after a recent drought in South Dakota.
The Missouri National Recreation Center posted on its Facebook that the vessel, North Alabama, sank after she hit a snag and ended up at the bottom of the "Mighty Mo." A posted picture showed the remains, including broken wooden beams.
It was first uncovered in 1904 when water levels dropped and again in 2004. RELATED: Man survives after being stung thousands of times in bee attackAccording to a 2013 YouTube video, the North Alabama was a 220-ton wooden packet steamboat.
