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

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1992.^[2]^[3] It is open for tours as part of the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. According to information provided on the tour, the Black, one of the last steamboats built in the U.S., was used primarily along the Missouri River; it was decommissioned in the early 1970s because it was fueled by heavy oil, which became prohibitively expensive during the 1973 OPEC oil embargo.
