 A museum honors the U.S.S. Cairo, sunk in the Mississippi in 1863. |
 In 1963, it was carefully raised from the Mississippi mud and painstakingly restored. |
 Remarkably, no lives were lost when the ship was sunk. |

 Many of the ship's artifacts were preserved. |
 Kitchen utensils, |
 even some of the crew's personal items. |
