The North Alabama sank in 1870 after it hit a snag on a river between South Dakota and Nebraska.

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." It was first uncovered in 1904 when water levels dropped and again in 2004. According to a 2013 YouTube video, the North Alabama was a 220-ton wooden packet steamboat.

Officials said the steamboat was trying to make its way from the South Dakota shoreline to the Nebraska shoreline to pick up more wood for the voyage. But then the captain felt the ship hit a snag as the vessel approached Nebraska, creating a hole in the bottom of the boat that was about 2 feet wide and 8 feet long.

Cargo valued at more than $12,000 went down with the ship with no insurance to help cover the financial losses. This story was reported from Los Angeles. that I have read and agree
