Weekly List - Highlighted Property of the Week:
Forward Wreck Site, Warren County, New York
The Forward shipwreck, located in Lake George, New York, is a relatively rare and intact example of an early gasoline-powered launch associated with the golden years of Lake George as a summer resort. After putting the state-of-the-art Forward on the lake in 1906, the vessel became a personal excursion boat of W.K. Bixby, a wealthy American industrialist and bibliophile. It is now believed the vessel may have been abandoned in the 1930s. The Forward was located in June of 1989 by the underwater archaeology team today known as Bateaux Below, Inc. From 1989 to 1992 the shipwreck was archaeologically studied and mapped.
