Description

These keys were produced more then 160 years ago. They were salvaged in 1988 from 200 tons of cargo found in a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River in 1856. The river changed course many times over the years, leaving the wreck 40 feet below the surface of a corn field. Forty feet of earth and mud turned the steamboat Arabia into a magnificent time capsule.

great fan-out pic, Bill, I love the layout and all that dark, and the light on the keys, the whole gestalt. Wonderful shot of this display. And I love the one silver bunch on the end. (I assume that's not silver? Nickel, maybe? I don't know---what am I guessing about metals for, I don't know one from the other!) Great zoomed, it's a real beauty. And so many keys. I wonder if each key belonged to one person, or if these were sets? (If the latter, those people had some whacked-out homes.) Terrific job and equally fine crop.

Bill, I'm on an hour and 10 minutes (in your gallery), and I just did about as much in Tara's, and I have to leave now. I've skipped a lot, but only because of the impossible length of my comments. I'll be back. But thank you once more for your wonderful caring comments in my gallery, and for these always thoughtful delicate and sweeping photos, one after the next. Always a rarified treat. Hope you and Tara are having a fine, relaxing weekend in Texas. (If someone told you, before RR, that you'd marry someone from Seattle, and settle in South Texas, would you have believed them? Why don't you two get those big 10 gallon hats and come ridin' into town with lassos, and yelping, "ya-hoooo!" Take a pic of that! I mean it. It would give your fans a big laugh, chewin' on some hay, with a ton o' cattle in the background. Well, I've just insulted every Texan from Mexico to Oklahoma, so I'll sign off. I don't wanna be mobbed tomorrow morning...Great work, Bill.)
