Why has this BB not been pulled back up to Iowa as a Memorial? |
One phrase...Mississippi River lock and dams.
The Iowa would be to large to either navigate the Mississippi in certain spots which stops barge traffic for low water levels, and too large to even think about getting into one of the locks. Right now, the states who utilize the Ole' Miss are trying to drum up support to expand the locks for bigger barges and more revenue.
