General Butler Wreck (boat dive)

Burlington

Lake Champlain is teeming with wrecks. The General Butler is one of the most visited due it to laying in only 40 feet of water. All levels of divers can access this beauty of a ship. She was built in 1862 in Essex, New York and sank 14 years later on December 9, 1876.

Seasonal registration required. Please be sure to register at area dive shops, local charter captains, the Burlington Community Boat House, Westport Marina (NY) or at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. Or you can now register online here.
