DA Days at Dutch Sprin= gs

Our annual event at Du= tch Springs was held on July 15 and 16, 2006.

It was a= long fun weekend for DA divers at Dutch Springs. Some of us were there from Frid= ay until Sunday, while others just stopped for a day. Everyone who was there though had a good time with great weather, water, and friends. Water temps allowed lots of light suited diving unless you went deeper than 50 feet whe= re it still was cold. Being in the water though was the place to be in the blistering heat.

Here are= some details: Wanda, Dana, and Tom got to DS on Friday afternoon, and wow was it hot. We found some shade and set up our camp for the weekend. Steve even dr= ove from Ohio to meet the group. After some pizza at Sorrels in Nazareth, everyone retired to get ready= for Saturday. Ian, Maurizia, Mike D, Gary P, Fran and boys, Scott, Hannah, John= N, Al, and Matt arrived early enough on Saturday for the annual treasure hunt = or water park fun. Tom and Dana went for some check out diving. Kevin joined D= ana to see how she did. Lunch was a sumptuous cookout with all of the fixins followed by some prizes for the hunters. Dana got scuba certified and joined Scott as the newest DA's. Matt, Hannah, Wanda, Mike, and John went for some= fun dives and the rest of the group went for rescue training. The rest of the d= ay was for some more campout dining, a night dive, and a good party (don't know how to spell smoores?) that lasted till midnight when the tired DA's went to bed. In the morning the rescue class resumed as= did the fun dives. We had lunch courtesy of Geoff from Marvel followed by some raffle gifts. Some more fun dives with Paul D, Don V, Mrs. DVD, and others, some more food and we departed full, tired, and sun-fun filled.<= /span>

DA Dive Log

Pierre G= was diving in AK as well as Russia. He gave us a report at the last meeting and told us some big fish stories. = Tom M just went on a live aboard to AK as well, and also gave us a good report = at the meeting. He will have some pictures to show when he can spare time from= his night school program. Tom was to do a presentation at our next meeting, but= he was lured by the prospect of a dive trip to CA with Pierre and Mark. Our lo= ss, their gain. Diving should come first

&nb= sp;

July 30 = saw several DA’s go out on the Sea Lion for 2 Sunday dives. Wanda, Dana, = Bill G, Scott, Tom G, Hannah, and Al N all were aboard as divers while Norva, Ri= ch M, and Mike G went as bubble watchers. Capt Al took us to the Big Red Lump = off Long Branch and so= me divers got their first taste of NJ boat diving. After that the Sea Lion anchored on the Dual Wrecks and we did a tour of the old ships lost over a century ago. The Vis was anywhere from 5= to 20 feet at different locations and the bottom temp was near 60 degrees. Sea conditions were very good, and everyone had a good time.<= /p>

&nb= sp;

Rich M, = Gary P, Ben G, Tom G and Norva, Mike G, Mike L, Ed P, and Treasure Chest Shawn went= to St Thomas for a w= eek of fun and diving aboard the Living Rich, Captained by Marvin B. Doing 4 dives= a day for 4 days was a lot of underwater time for the group, but it was a good time for all to get away from the previous heat of NJ and get out on the wa= ter or on the beaches. No hurricanes spoiled the fun so nature cooperated. Mike= and Tom took some pics, a couple of bottles were recovered, no one got bent, and some good food and drink was consumed. All in all, a fun trip. Air travel w= as a bit trying for some members who came back later, but “No problems, mon”!

&nb= sp;

July 30,= Sunday, Pierre and Mark went aboard the Stingray and had 50 foot vis on the 120 wre= ck.

&nb= sp;

Gary P w= as aboard the Venture 3 for some deep wreck diving and got a huge fluke on a r= ock pile. The fish was 31+ inches long and weighed 10+ pounds. Capt Hepler said= it was one of the biggest fluke taken on the boat in a couple of years. This o= ne didn’t get away. See picture below.

Bottle Story =

by Tom Gormley

<= o:p>

<= o:p>

I was going through some old bottles in my garage and came across one that ca= ught my eye. It was a blob top clear glass bottle that had a pleated base that r= an up approximately 1 1/2 inches and had the name “India Warf Brewing Co= , Brooklyn, NY” embossed on its side. This 100 year old bottle was collected by me in the <= st1:place w:st=3D"on">Shrewsbury River on a dive in 2003 with Rich = Mullen as my buddy. I remember finding it and deciding that it was a keeper mainly= due to its blown blob applied top and its fancy bottom. The bottom has a keyhole seam and the pleats are different from other bottles that we have found the= re. This bottle remained in my garage until now, 3 years later. I just rediscovered = this beauty. The embossing as you can see is not printed lettering but handwritt= en. Of course the writing was inscribed into a mold and then transferred into t= he bottle. The story below is what I could find on the internet about the bott= ling company. If anyone else has an example of this bottle or more information, please share it with us.

“B= ock beer has been brewed in G= ermany for centuries and is still among the more popular beer styles there today. Countless examples of exquisite German labels and advertising, both past and present, exist. In the late 19^th and early part of the 20th cent= ury, there were literally hundreds of local and regional breweries in the U.S., many founded by German immigrants who produced the traditional beer styles = they enjoyed in their homeland. However, the Temperance movement and subsequently the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which enacted the approximately 13-year period known as Prohibition, permanently damaged the local and region= al brewing trade in this country. In the aftermath, only a handful of companies ended up controlling the production and distribution of the majority of beer consumed in this country, which was predominantly brewed in the bland, homogenized style known as American Pilsner and what most Americans know as "beer" today. Still, the local German brewers in the U.S., most notably in the northern and mid-western states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana, would try to make a go at it = and, for the next several decades after Prohibition was repealed, traditional Ge= rman beer styles became widely available across at least part of the country. Bo= ck beer was no exception. And, like the several hundred year-old breweries back home and as they did before Prohibition, these proud brewers incorporated t= he traditional symbol of the goat onto their labels and in their advertising f= or bock beer.”

Look= ing a little deeper
= Group dives into history beneath the surface of Lake Georg= e, marks historical sites

By KON= RAD MARSHALL, kmarshall@poststar.com<= /a>
Saturday, July= 22, 2006

LAKE GEORGE u Joe Zarzynsk= i is an underwater archaeologist — a combination of Jacques Cousteau and Indiana Jones.

The executive director of the Bateaux Below — a group dedicated to identifying, protecting and publicizing the hidden historic wonders at the bottom of Lake George — Zarzynski, a 6-foot-5 athletic scholar with t= he smile of an excited child, has both Cousteau’s passion for conservati= on and education, and Jones’s hunger for discovery and adventure.

“The end result of all archaeology should be to get the information o= ut to the public and to researchers and academics,” Zarzynski said. “We have a motto: A story is not a story until a story is told.”= ;

And the story of Lake George, as Zarzyns= ki tells it — with the help of actual local shipwrecks and sunken vessels — is a good one.

People don’t know it, he said, but there are almost 200 shipwrecks in= the glacial-formed lake, and they’re waiting to be rediscovered by those interested and intrepid enough to dive in.

To illustrate the point, Zarzynski recounts the story of how he and a team = of volunteer divers, amateur historians and wannabee archaeologists used their knowledge of history and some modest technology to track down a wreck that = had been hidden for more than two centuries.

But first, a history lesson.

In the mid-1700s, Britain and France were battling for control of a North American empire in a conflict that wou= ld come to be known as the French and Indian War. Soldiers used the waterways = of New York to trav= el through the region — at the time an untamed wilderness with no roads.=

In 1757, as the British planned to mount a serious offensive using the wate= rs of Lake George, the French attacked Fort William Henry, burning the entire British flotilla — more than 300 bateaux (a French word for “boats”). A year later, the British knew better than to leave t= heir boats out during the winter months.

Their solution was to deliberately sink 260 boats in shallow water just nor= th of where Million Dollar Beach now sits, on the eastern side of the lake.

They filled them with rocks, watched them sink to the bottom, and then trie= d to raise them the following year. The majority were raised, but many were not.=

“They actually thought it was going to be easier than it was,” Zarzynski said.

Zarzynski said there’s a historical account of the British raising a sloop, in which free divers would swim to the bottom, remove a few rocks, t= hen swim back up. They would tie a rope to the craft, then use oxen, hundreds of soldiers and pulley systems, to drag the boat to shore.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t get all of them. Those that were left be= hind remain at the bottom of the lake to this day.

Zarzynski said some research-ers speculate that the British accidentally sa= nk certain boats in water too deep, or, as some were sinking, they hit a steep lake shore slope and slid farther into the lake than intended.

One of those that went missing, said Zarzynski, the most impressive was the “Land Tortoise” — a floating gun battery with an unusual seven-sided design, recently designated by the Smithsonian Institute as “the oldest intact war vessel in North America= .”

Lost for more than two centuries, the shipwreck lay hidden and undisturbed = in the dark depths of Lake George until 232= years later, when Zarzynski and a few other curious explorers found it.

“It was intact, and lying in 107 feet of water,” said Zarzynski, “a one-of-a-kind British and provincial warship and well-preserved ic= on of the French and Indian War.”

Zarzynski and a team of researchers — including fellow Bateaux Below members Bob Benway and Dave VanAken — were scanning the lake bed with sonar on June 26= , 1990, when they came across an unusual shape, and dove to investigate further.

Lake George water is usually clear, a tr= ait Zarzynski believes will eventually help make it a premier inland diving destination. But at 107 feet down, the water was dark and murky.

As they came upon the shipwreck, Zarzynski wasn’t sure what they̵= 7;d found. He’d seen barges before, and all sorts of craft, but never anything with the strange angular shape before.

“It was dark. I was like, ‘This is one strange-looking type of ship,’ ” he said, before realizing what lay before him. “= The water was already cold, but it was a shivering moment. I had goosebumps.= 221;

Zarzynski knew it was the lost flagship of the sunken fleet of 1758.

“It looked colossal,” he said. “I held the measuring tape= at zero, and watched them swim away. The ship is 52 feet long.”

The group came up, overjoyed, and then they began the long and arduous task that must be fulfilled with all archaeological discoveries — that of heritage certification and classification, and the endless monotony of discussions about what to do with the find.

The Cousteau in Zarzynski would speak of education and preservation, and the Jones in him would plead that any antiquity “belongs in a museum!R= 21;

In the end, it was decided to do both — to use the sunken fleet of 17= 58, the Land Tortoise, and a turn-of-the-century steamship, as historical underwater classrooms.

The Bateaux Below floated buoys above each of the three watery museums, and erected underwater signs detailing the history of the sites, the geology and marine life surrounding them, some diving tips and an explanation of the archaeology used to track them down.

But the group’s work is not done. There are other sites on the lake worth visitin= g. For each, they must apply through the state for historical markers, and for permission to create underwater museums.

There is a 1995 find, a homemade research submarine, which was stolen and s= unk in 1960. There are wooden row boats from the 1920s. There is a French and Indian War dock. And there is even a set of railway tracks, which was originally used to launch boats at Million Dollar Beach off boxcars.

Most of the finds in Lake George were ma= de with the help of studious historic research. Zarzynski, a history major, se= ems to revel in collecting old accounts of long-forgotten times, and looking in= to the lore behind his loot.

His start in archaeological diving began one day in the early 1970s, going through the library, when he came across a book on Loch Ness, and the monst= er fabled to inhabit that dark lake. Most people would let their interest in t= he mystery pass, but Zarzynski was enthralled, and between the mid-1970s and t= he mid-1980s, he made nine pilgrimages to the blackened, peat-stained lake.

During that time, he heard about Lake Champlain, and its own supposed monster, “Champ.” He learned to dive, and didn’t find Champ, but instead found a great many shipwrecks, and, in turn, a passion for underwater archaeology.

“I love mysteries, and I love the water,” Zarzynski said.

But when he began to snoop around the known shipwrecks in Lake George, it bothered him that they weren’t as pristine as= in other places, especially considering the history of the area.

In the 1960s, said Zarzynski, Lake George was one of the most popular places to dive in the northeast.

“After the invention of SCUBA in World War II, one can almost develop= a case that American underwater archaeology began in L= ake George.”

Zarzynski wanted to see a preservation ethic become stronger among divers, = and sees it as the group’s responsibility to disseminate information on t= he fragility and importance of these sites. The public domain is all-important= .

A friend and co-member of his group, Russell Bellico, has written three boo= ks on wrecks in the lake, and the group put together an award-winning document= ary, “The Lost Radeau,” about the Land Tortoise. But they want to do more.

Zarzynski is also working to see an underwater “blueway trail” established in New York, linking six of the major waterways in the state, in the hope that it would serve three functions: recreational tourism for dive= rs; creation of historic markers leading to heritage tourism; and ongoing preservation of important sites.

“I think that diving is just beginning to become a little more interesting in Lake George,” Zarzy= nski said. “But we’re hoping to put more down there. We want divers = to become stewards of the lake.”
