Nails through history and a fatal river sinking
The article notes that hand made nails gave way to a 1834 invention of a wire nail making machine in France. It recalls that cut nails from iron strips were highly valued and sometimes salvaged from burnt barns. It also mentions pennies and a 3 inch nail priced as a 10 penny. It adds a 30 years ago note about the towboat Natchez sinking in the Mississippi River killing 13.
