A 1,100-­pound keelson, the largest portion of what remains of "La Belle," is the focal point of the exhibition. Film footage of the massive excavation project in the 1990s shows overhead. This will be the spot in the museum where experts will reassemble this puzzle of history.
The display will be permanently housed on the first floor of the Bullock after the spring.
