Life Onboard: Lake Champlain’s Sunken Canal Boats

In the 1800s Lake Champlain was home to thousands of canal boats. Every year a few of these boats found their way to the bottom of the lake, leaving modern day underwater archaeologists with a treasure trove of wooden shipwrecks. The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum recently completed an investigation of one such canal boat wreck. Discover the gripping tale of this shipwreck with Adam Kane, through slides, drawings, and artifacts.
