Virtual Archaeology Conference To Focus On Arnold’s Bay, Lake Champlain
The Arnold’s Bay site on Lake Champlain is where, in 1776, General Benedict Arnold burned the remaining vessels of the American fleet to prevent their capture by the British during the last engagement in the northern theatre at the end of the American Revolution’s 1776 campaign season.
