Ninety-six years later, when a team of dedicated explorers was to
discover a most unique time capsule.....the intact steamship Metropole with
her masts, wooden pilot house, giant steering wheel, compass, anchors,
and cargo still in place. She appears ready to continue her voyage to
deliver her cargo of barrel staves for a cooperage (barrel
manufacturer) in Cleveland. With the crew's initials still visibly carved in
the planking, fire hoses ready for deployment, barrel staves stacked in
place, shovels hanging from hooks, and the compass still functioning, we
are transported into a working steamer of the 19™ century.
