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

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 Defender was originally named the Lake and built by millionaire Simon Lake and his Bridgeport-based Lake Torpedo Boat Company in hopes of winning a U.S. Navy contract. The company lost that competition and Lake then tried refitting the boat for minesweeping, salvage and rescue work, renaming it the Defender.
