Book Description
Discover lost history in the dark waters of Lake George. Lake George is bustling with boaters, swimmers, fishermen and many others, enjoying its scenic, quintessentially Adirondack shores. But the depths below hide a whole other world--one of shipwrecks and lost history. Entombed are remnants of Lake George's important naval heritage, such as the legendary Land Tortoise radeau, which sank in 1758. Other wrecks include the steam yacht Ellide and the first famed Minne-Ha-Ha. These waters hold secrets, too, like the explanation behind the 1926 disappearance of two hunters. After years of exploration across the lake's bottomlands, underwater archaeologist Joseph W. Zarzynski and archeological diver Bob Benway present the most intriguing discoveries among more than two hundred known shipwreck sites.

Book Description
Thirty-two miles long and dotted with hundreds of wooded islands, Lake George is nestled within the eastern mountain range of New York’s historic Adirondack Park. Its hypnotic beauty and expansive recreational offerings have charmed countless generations of visitors and have earned it the title “Queen of America’s Lakes.” Lake George: 1900–1925 offers glimpses into an era in which life was simpler and slower, with the elegant steamer Horicon gliding on pristine waters, parasoled ladies strolling the Sagamore’s birch-lined paths, and men silently fishing off rocky Black Mountain shores.

Book Description
Huletts Landing is located on the east shore of Lake George, a lake world renowned for its crystal clear water and views of the majestic Adirondack Mountains. Named after the original owners of the property, the Huletts, the area began humbly. It was not until Philander Hulett established the first post office and steamship landing that tourism in the area began to flourish. The area grew into a resort destination with the establishment of the original Huletts Hotel, which burned down and resulted in a sensational arson trial in 1917. A second, newer hotel was built, and the area thrived. Residents and tourists alike still travel from all areas of the country to spend vacations at Huletts Landing, basking in its mix of unparalleled charm and natural beauty.
