}} The William M. Black is a steam-propelled, sidewheel dustpan dredge.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1992.[1][3] It is open for tours as part of the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. The Black, one of the last paddle steamers built in the U.S., was used primarily along the Missouri River. It had a crew of 49 and dredged 80,000 cubic yards of material per day. It was decommissioned in 1973 because it consumed 7,000 gallons of heavy oil each day, which became prohibitively expensive during the 1973 OPEC oil embargo.[4]
