Explore a shipwreck without getting wet. We drive to the wreck site then use an underwater robotic camera (ROV) to see incredibly intact wrecks from the 1800's. You stay dry onboard. This is a unique outing and excellent for the whole family. It combines technology with history with a great boat ride on Lake Champlain.
