SUMMARY:Deep Dives: The Howell Torpedo
DESCRIPTION:History lies in the depths of Lake Champlain\, waiting to share its secrets and stories. In 2026\, we’re opening up our vaults and taking a DEEP DIVE into the past with Museum experts\, archaeologists\, historians\, and educators in our free evening conversation series!  \n\n\n\nJoin us every other Wednesday from June through October for a free “Deep Dives” talk. Each evening will include an expert presentation and time for questions and conversation at the end.  \n\n\n\nOn August 26\, we will be joined by Beth Sanders\, Collections Manager\, U.S. Naval Undersea Museum\, and Blair Atcheson\, Program Analyst\, Underwater Archaeology Branch\, who will speak on the collaboration which took place to recover\, restore\, and share a Howell torpedo.  \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, Navy dolphins unearthed one of the world’s rarest weapons – a 19th-century Howell torpedo. Upon discovery\, the torpedo was sent to the NHHC Underwater Archaeology Branch’s Conservation Research and Archaeology Laboratory in Washington\, D.C.\, for research and stabilization before being delivered to the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport\, WA where it is currently on display. Follow along on the journey of the dolphins who found it\, the extensive archival research that revealed Howell Torpedo No. 24’s loss from USS Iowa (Battleship #4) in 1899\, and the two years of conservation treatment that stabilized it for tomorrow. \n\n\n\nThis program is presented in collaboration with the Burlington\, Vermont Navy Week. \n\n\n\nDeep Dives is free to attend with registration. A complimentary drink from Shacksbury cider is included with your free registration.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:The Winds of Change
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Battle of Valcour Bay through the eyes of a sailor. This Museum tour explores the events of the Battle of Valcour Bay on Lake Champlain during the American Revolution with a focus on a very important but under-appreciated actor: WIND. You’ll learn the basics of sail theory and consider these events and what it was like for soldiers aboard ships during the battle from a new perspective. \n\n\n\nThis tour makes three stops on the Museum Campus: the waterfront at North Harbor\, the replica gunboat Philadelphia II\, and our exhibit Fragments: Voices of the American Revolution on Lake Champlain. \n\n\n\nThis tour is free to attend\, no registration required. Meet in the Hoehl Family Visitor and Education Center.
