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:Deep Dives: The Row Galleys of the American Revolution
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\nJoining us on September 9 will be Executive Director Chris Sabick\, who will be speaking on the row galleys of the American Revolution. \n\n\n\nWhile an enormous amount of research and documentation has been carried of Revolutionary War Gunboats like Philadelphia and Spitfire\, we know surprisingly little about the Row Galleys that also served in the American fleet at the Battle of Valcour Island. These larger vessels added significantly to the capabilities of the American fighting force with Congress serving as Benedict Arnold’s flag ship. Recent research conducted at Arnold’s Bay and in historic resources has added significantly to our understanding of this vessel type. This presentation will discuss the design\, and construction of the row gallies as well as looking at how they were armed\, crewed\, and employed during the naval actions on Lake Champlain in 1776. \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:Deep Dives: The Great Bridge and the American Revolution
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.

The presentation will review the historical background of the Great Bridge and its importance to the defense of Lake Champlain during the American Revolution. Additionally\, information from the archaeological research and survey between 1992 and 1993 will be discussed as a reflection of McLaughlin’s work. The presentation will conclude with the Museum’s recent involvement with submerged cultural resource mitigation of a section of the archaeological remains in New York State waters.

SUMMARY:Deep Dives: Valcour Bay Research Project
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 October 7\, Paul Willard Gates\, Director of Archaeology\, will share insight on the Valcour Bay Research Project collection. \n\n\n\nBetween 1999 through 2004\, several field seasons were conducted by the Archaeology Department at the site of the Battle of Valcour Bay. Known as the Valcour Bay Research Project (VBRP)\, the work consisted of a Phase I underwater archaeological investigation of the submerged battlefield at Valcour Bay\, in Lake Champlain. Throughout the 1999 to 2002 field seasons\, the VBRP team professionally located\, mapped\, documented\, and conserved recovered artifacts related to the Battle of Valcour Bay on October 11th\, 1776. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will re-examine these artifacts in the context of naval warfare and the horrific experiences of people from both the American fleet and the British fleet. Examinations of these artifacts are interpreted through a lens that reveals a raw\, visceral look of 18th century weapons and not a glorification of war. By interpreting these archaeological resources\, we can piece together the lived experiences of people who were at the Battle of Valcour Bay. In doing so\, we hope our audience can gain a better understanding of the importance of archaeology as a science and its use in interpreting the past. \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!
