You get a chance, stop by the museum in Kansas City.
The Arabia was on the Missouri river on a freight trip up river from St. Louis when it hit a snag near KCMO in 1856.
It carried enough goods to set up a couple hundred hardware stores.  It sank quickly and settled into the cold mud at the river bottom, shut off from oxygen.  Glass, ceramics, metals, and wood (after it was stabilized) are preserved.  Every tool you would expect from 1856, and dozens of each one.  Hammers, hatchets, axes, braces, saws of all kinds, weapons, wrenches, screws, and nails.

Every person was taken to safety, but sadly one mule perished.

Hats, boots, and even jars of pickles (they are still good.)

Wow ! what a treasure trove !

WOW is right. That is something I must see before I'm gone
Great pics, thanks for the post, I'd never heard of this until now.

Yes! I've been to the museum twice and planning on going again! The thing that impressed me the most is how "modern" the stuff was that they were carrying. I'm also impressed by the gumption the people had to dig the ship up on their own! I think they have another ship in the works and they may move the museum to another location in the future.

Did you get a look at the teeth on those buzz saw blades?  They took a huge bite!
