However, most of the time Lewis preferred to leave in the early morning to travel as far as possible. But it had rained during the first half of the day, so it can be supposed that Lewis and Clark left perhaps around 10:00 am rather than their usual 7:00 or 8:00 am.

I have a nickel with the president and a ship on the back but can't read the year.?

Turn the coin over; the date is on the front. Your coin is called a "keelboat nickel" and was minted in 2004 as part of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. It's really a boat rather than a ship and was one of the more recognizable means of transport used by the explorers. The mint strick hundreds of millions of Lewis and Clark nickels and nearly all were saved from circulation. They don't have a lot of extra value unless you have a special proof version from the San Francisco Mint. Even then it may only be worth $2 to $5.
