This is not a planned video. I was in Kansas City, Missouri, on March 1, 2018 on a business trip and had a couple hours to kill before my flight home, and decided to stop by one of my favorite history museums, the Steamboat Arabia Museum, aka Arabia Steamboat Museum. I decided to try making a brief documentary video, but the only equipment I had with me was my smart phone, which generally takes crappy video with a low frame rate, jerky zoom, lots of distortion, and poor low light capability. I did the best I could under the circumstances, and then added a bit of narration at the front of my video to set the stage. I hope that some viewers will be motivated to visit this fascinating museum in person; it takes the visitor back in time better than any other history museum I have seen, and the size and consistency of the collection's artifacts is unmatched.
