Although Vermont has no ocean coastline, much of it's western boundary borders on Lake Champlain. This large lake (431 square miles, and 121 miles long), which lies between Vermont and New York state, has been the scene of extensive boating activity for centuries. In addition to some modern wrecks, Lake Champlain contains several wrecks of historical importance.
In order to protect some of the lake's historic shipwrecks, Vermont and New York have established the Lake Champlain Underwater Historic Preserve. Annual registration and special regulations apply to all divers wishing to visit wrecks in the Preserve areas. For details on the Preserve, its wrecks and its regulations, Click Here.
