"Steaming up the Missouri River en route to the frontier, the Arabia carried 130 passengers and 220 tons of precious cargo. On September 5, 1856, a submerged walnut tree pierced her hull, sinking the Arabia one-half mile below Parkville, Missouri. In time the river changed course, leaving the Arabia and her priceless freight deep beneath a Kansas farm field. Men dreaming of the hidden trove began spinning magical tales of gold, silver, and whiskey lost aboard the steamer". Book about Arabia--Steamboat. Locale: Kansas--United States; Missouri River.
