Mary Lou Sunken Cargo South Omaha

Historical Notes
The Missouri River carried steamboat traffic to Omaha from the mid-nineteenth century onward. Compiled guides describe the Mary Lou going down with a valuable cargo just south of Omaha. The wreck pairs with bridge-thrown gold lore and Council Bluffs riverbank traditions on the metro corridor.
