Does anybody know of a website where I could find a map that shows where every steamboat wreck happened?

Question

On the mississippi river around misouri-illinois border.

Answer 1

From what I've gathered researching on Google, while underwater archaeology is becoming a well respected sub-field, publications of books and such hasn't kept up. So I'm guessing that there's not much of anything. The International Handbook of Underwater Archaeology (book) by Carol Ruppé and Jan Barstad has a small two and a half page write up devoted to steamboat wrecks but their focus is on the Missouri River, not Mississippi. There's also http://forum.treasurenet.com/ that might have some information. This site also has information, but doesn't say what river they're on unless you follow each story's link http://iagenweb.org/history/river/steamb...
