Revolutionary War Cannon Resurfaces | Burlington News
Description
They pulled a 250-year-old Revolutionary War cannon from Lake Champlain—once part of Benedict Arnold’s gunboat New York, which blew up during the 1776 Battle of Valcour, killing Lieutenant Thomas Rogers. Now restored and placed beside his wife’s memorial, the cannon is headed to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, where salt corrosion hints it may have had a life before sinking. This find closes a 30-year search, completing a hauntingly vivid chapter of history resurfacing from the depths.
