U.S. La Vallee Shipwreck
The La Vallee is for advanced divers only as she lays in 100 ft of water. The La Valle, a tugboat originally launched in 1880, was scuttled in 1931, due to ongoing leaks from old age. She is one of the few steamboat wrecks in Lake Champlain that still have an engine and other machinery on board.
