Captain Lewis's Experiment

July 18, 1805. Captain Lewis is very upset because his experimental boat that was made from iron but it didn't work. It was about 36 feet long. We had the animal hides all dried, and the water sealant that was made from a tree sap. we had assembled it and we let it go and it was in the water for about 5 minutes before every seem in the ship came apart and it went to the bottom of the river. For the rest of the day we tried to do everything we could to make Captain Lewis happy. The day after that we buried it in the ground.
