USS Inaugural Still Around
Remember the USS Inaugural that was moored on the St. Louis wharf to serve as a museum? During the 1993 flood, the former Navy minesweeper was swept away itself. However, it did not get very far. As "Memory_machine" tells us in his blog entry "Undergroundozarks goes to the Library / The Wreck of the Inaugural", the wreck of the ship is just south of the MacArthur Bridge, and readily visible.

Y'know, I had vague plans to go see that thing some time, but it slipped off my radar. Have to add it to the list.
I had no idea it was so huge till I saw the guy in the third pic for scale. Wow!
I saw it when it was a museum - sorry to read what happened to it.
