Iron Mountain (riverboat)
The ''Iron Mountain'' was a stern-wheeler that plied the Mississippi River for ten years until sinking in 1882. Built in 1872 on the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, the boat was long and had a beam.〔 The ship ran aground and sank in 1882. However, a common legend claims that it mysteriously disappeared.
==Sinking==
The ''Iron Mountain'' sailed from Vicksburg on March 25, 1882, and hit an obstruction at Stumpy Point, near Island 102, which holed her hull and sank her. The crew scrambled onto one of the barges and escaped. A chambermaid/ship stewardness named Mrs. Ellen Anderson〔( The Weekly Louisianian., April 01, 1882, Image 2 )〕 was caught below decks and killed. Her body was recovered the next day with some wreckage, but of the ship itself there was no sign. Further wreckage was found on June 30, several miles from where the boat was lost. The sinking of the ship was reported locally, with articles appearing in the March 27 edition of the Vicksburg ''Daily Commercial'', and the March 28 issue of the ''Daily Memphis Avalanche''.〔(Other contemporary accounts of the ships loss )〕 The ship was not found until later, having apparently been refloated by flood waters and carried through a break in a levee, and grounded in a cotton field at Omega Landing, near Tallulah, Louisiana.〔
