- In the spring of 1776, the Lake Champlain Valley became a pivotal location in the American War for Independence. The British invasion from Canada and subsequent battle for naval supremacy of this strategic waterway was critical to the Americans' eventual success in later years. With General Benedict Arnold leading the American effort, the combatants met on October 11, 1776, at the Battle of Valcour Island. This and other wartime encounters on Lake Champlain left behind a legacy of shipwrecks and an underwater archaeological collection.
