Yesterday I visited the Mississippi Museum in Dubuque and was very impressed by the model of the Sprague. I noticed that there are a large number of longitudinal tension bracing cables. They looked as if maybe they were to maintain the curvature of the hull of the boat. Does anyone have any information on how these cables contributed to the structure of the boat? Thanks.
