Underwater Snapshots of Bonne Terre Mine

Pitch black. Overhead environment. Cold water. No lights allowed. What could go wrong?

Bonne Terre Mine is an abandoned lead mine complete with mining tools, restrictions, ore carts and tracks, a movie prop from a 1990s movie, and a locomotive. Additionally, there is a functional pontoon boat inside the mine, giving tours of the mine on the surface. How did it get there? By crane, in a mine chute. What’s not to love here in Bonne Terre, Mo?
