Divers Confirm Two More New Shipwrecks at Bottom of Lake Minnetonka
The two sites discovered this week are the latest in a growing collection of new finds catalogued this summer.
Volunteers with Maritime Heritage Minnesota dove this week on two anomalies detected last year with sonar and confirmed both sites are previously undiscovered shipwrecks.
According to a post on Maritime Heritage Minnesota's Facebook page, one of the wrecks is a "16-foot runabout/speed boat, maybe even a Chris Craft."
The other is a small metal fishing boat 11.5 feet long.
Exact locations of the sites will be available once paperwork clears the appropriate state agencies.
