Lake George is bustling with boaters; swimmers; fishermen and many others; enjoying its scenic; quintessentially Adirondack shores. But the depths below hide a whole other world--one of shipwrecks and lost history. Entombed are remnants of Lake Georges important naval heritage; such as the legendary Land Tortoise radeau; which sank in 1758. Other wrecks include the steam yacht Ellide and the first famed Minne-Ha-Ha. These waters hold secrets; too; like the explanation behind the 1926 disappearance of two hunters. After years of exploration across the lakes bottomlands; underwater archaeologist Joseph W. Zarzynski and archeological diver Bob Benway present the most intriguing discoveries among more than two hundred known shipwreck sites.
