In november of 1860 the spangler was rammed by the Racine with no lives lost.  she was carrying a load of corn.

I worked my way over to the bridge house and I found it to be a bit cumbersome to get into the entrance with all of these tanks on me so I opted to just stay out and not break anything. Walter just turned to the side and glided his way into the bridge house, yea he was pimping the spangler for sure!!

We ended up starting our ascent and everything went well as we made it back to the surface in good time and good health.
