Chris Sabick of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will discuss the recent environmental clean-up operations that were carried out in Onondaga Lake, which revealed a wide variety of sunken vessels resting in its waters. Many of these vessels were discovered to be related to the New York State Canal system, including barges, canal boats, and dredges. This presentation will provide an overview of the number and types of vessels discovered in Onondaga Lake and look at a selection of them in detail and share what is known about their histories.

This talk will be presented both in-person and via Zoom. Attendance is FREE with a recommended $10 donation. You can register here: https://eriecanalmuseum.org/store/product/lecture/
