Mississippi Roads

The Cairo Museum (12x10)

Air date: May 01, 2014

Mississippi Roads visits the Cairo Museum in Vicksburg and tours the reconstructed Ironclad “city-class” gunboat. The Cairo navigated the muddy waters of the Yazoo River for just a brief period of time before two torpedoes ripped a hole in its hull, sinking the ship for nearly a century until some brave divers brought it up.
