"Submarine" Being Use by Rum Runners On Lake Champlain
When newspaper reporters came to inspect the flat-bottomed craft it had disappeared, and it was supposed that its owner had towed it out during the night; nearby residents said rum runners had been active in the vicinity.
Burlington, Vermont, Nov. 5, 1926 - (AP) - An improvised submarine apparently designed as a liquor carrier on Lake Champlain, drifted into a cove in Grand Isle a few nights ago and was tied up by Robert Fallon, who discovered the craft. Today when newspaper reporters went to the scene to inspect the boat the "submersible" had mysteriously disappeared. The craft was about 25 feet lon gand flat-bottomed with covered top and capable of carrying a consideable cargo in the compartments with which it was fitted. The craft, which bore marked signs of underwater service, could be submerged by filling it with water through a hole in the top. Apparently it was designed, by the sharp cut of the bow, to be towed, when submerged. by a launch. It is supposed its owner discovered it tied up in the cove and towed it out during the night. Rum runners have been active in the vicinity of late, according to nearby residents.
