Summary
Jonathan and the team visit a rare shipwreck in Lake Champlain called a horse ferry. It was literally a ferry that was propelled by horses walking on a turnstile (sort of like a treadmill). This is the only known wreck of its type in the world. It’s a wreck diving adventure! Special thanks to Waterfront Diving Center in Burlington, Vermont for their assistance with filming this episode! Scuba diving.
