Currently I need any help looking for the Hull of the Julia . This steam boat that hit a snag and went down in 1867. I have some Ideas, but I cant decide if its worth all the time and energy to search for it. The odds are in good favor that this is one of 6 possible steamboats on the River bottom. The silt runoff from the farms and flooding has buried it. I was thinking the AT pro could find this and I could place it with the historical society. Any Ideas if its in the inner part of or outer part of the river about 2 miles down from Mankato.

This Steamer was labeled a total loss but no records about it being pulled out of the River bottom are found.
