Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Replicas suitable for Arkansas
Michael: Very interesting-I am not familiar with the Louisiana boat. They are really the perfect repository though for such a craft. I won't go into in American Civil War history on the Mississippi now, but Louisiana has got it all. The famous gunboat CSS Arkansas is under a levee there. I think Cussler found it. I am leaving for New Orleans this Friday and be gone till early next week. More business than pleasure but I will try and take some time to look into more of this. At least get more information. Say you got drawings? I am going to the National D-Day Museum. I'll report on any "treasures" when I return. Emile: Danke, Vielen Danke für den Website über dem Seehund. Es ist ausgezeichnet! Alles Gute! Mark
