This wreck is only visible when the river is very low.

It's the USS Inaugural, a WWII minesweeper. It used to be on display in St. Louis but broke free and sank during a flood. Someone's started to scrap it recently. I kept hassling the St. Louis locals to go salvage the various artillery off it, but someone beat them to it

^ is correct.
I tried 4 times to see it. the last time, I got there and the river had just rose up to cover it again.

on a side note, the flood walls nearby are covered in some good street art.

The Inaugural got fucked over hard in recent years. It's a sad sight now.

The water level finally got low enough to walk out to it back in 2012. Unfortunately, the water level was low enough to scrap it as well. Fortunately, a couple of us made it in there before the scrappers. We even climbed inside one of the portholes.
