On October 11, 1776, Commandant Benedict Arnold and his American Fleet literally found themselves in dire straits. Outgunned and out manned, it was a setting of Arnold’s choosing, and one in which he hoped to slow and ensnare the inevitable British advance into the Champlain Valley. Join Ed Scollon as he shares the findings of the Valcour Bay Research Project and the consequences that the Battle of Valcour had for the American Gondola New York, its crew and one of their families. Ed Scollon is a retired NYS Trooper and NYS Underwater Recovery Team Member. A Co-Founder and Co-Principal Investigator of the Valcour Bay Research Project, Ed continues to work as an archaeological diver and researcher, focusing his study on the 1776 Battle of Valcour Island.
