点评:I thought about skipping this part of my tour with Road Scholar because I didn't think I would like it and we had a "keep the pace" type of tour with 2-3 places to visit everyday. But I would have missed so much. After our tour here, which told the story of the sunken ship and how it was found and excavated, we watched a movie about it. One of the 4 men who had been on the team that arranged to find and excavate the boat and now run this museum, came in to speak with us and answered questions. There are thousands of PRE CIVIL war artifacts on view and a room the real length of the steamboat so you can get the feel of being on the ship. You can watch people restoring other artifacts, such as a saddle. The ship had a cargo hold of goods to deliver along the Missouri river stops but sank and was lost for many years.
翻译:我本来想跳过Road Scholar的这部分行程,因为我觉得我不会喜欢,而且我们安排的行程是“按部就班”,每天只参观两三个地方。但那样我会错过很多。我们参观了这艘沉船的故事,了解了它是如何被发现和挖掘的,之后还看了一部关于它的电影。负责寻找和挖掘这艘船、现在经营这家博物馆的团队中有四人,其中一位过来和我们交谈,回答了我们的问题。博物馆展出了数千件内战前的文物,还有一个与这艘蒸汽船长度相同的房间,让你可以身临其境地体验这艘船的魅力。你还可以观看人们修复其他文物,比如马鞍。这艘船原本有一个货舱,准备沿着密苏里河沿岸运送货物,但最终沉没,并失踪多年。
