Two barges marooned on farmland in Dogtooth Bend, Illinois. Just before New Year’s Day 2016, the Mississippi River punched a hole in the Len Small levee, built in 1943 to protect farmland along an S-shaped curve in the river known as Dogtooth Bend. That hole was never repaired. When the water rose again in 2019, it washed six barges through the breach. Four were retrieved before the flood receded, but two were left to rust.

Molly Sobotka cuts the engine on her boat and drifts into the inlet that formed behind the levee breach. She’s taking water quality measurements for the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Sobotka said the river is a migratory path for fish as well as birds, and little side channels of water like this are important habitat, even though it might not look like much more than a scraggly inlet.
“Fish are coming here from thousands of miles away,” Sobotka said. “They might stay here for a couple months, they might stay here for a couple days, and then move somewhere else, but the river is the pathway between all these different habitats.”

“Now it’s a lot of sand,” Tharran Hobson said. “We’re standing on a 10-foot sand berm and looking out across acres and acres of sand.”

Isla... and the downed Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" bomber, at the Battle of Britain Museum near Hythe. It's actually a rather good recreation in stainless steel.
