Divers discover wreckage of early 1900s submarine in Long Island Sound.

TL;DR Summary
Divers in Connecticut have discovered the wreckage of an experimental submarine, the Defender, that was built in 1907 and later scuttled in Long Island Sound. The 92-foot-long boat was found more than 150 feet beneath the water's surface, off the coast of Old Saybrook. The submarine was built by millionaire Simon Lake and his Bridgeport-based Lake Torpedo Boat Company in hopes of winning a U.S. Navy contract. The team plans to spend the summer diving on the sub, filming it and taking photographs, and has contacted the Navy to see if it would be interested in helping preserve the wreckage.
