• Lady of the Lake Dive Charter

Lady of the Lake Dive Charter

"The Lady" was constructed between 1848 and 1849 by the Winnipesaukee Steamship Company. A 125-foot-long sidewheel paddle steamer, she quickly became the dominant vessel in commercial lake traffic until 1872, when the steamship "Mount Washington" entered service. In 1893, "The Lady" was retired and docked in Glendale Cove (now Smith Cove). Her machinery was removed, and she was repurposed as temporary housing for workers constructing Kimball's Castle. Two years later, in 1895, her keel was filled with rocks in preparation for being scuttled in deep water North of Rattlesnake Island. However, while being towed, she unexpectedly sank in the middle of the cove.

Today, she lies upright in 30 feet of water just off the shore in front of the NH Marine Patrol Headquarters. "The Lady" is now one of the lake's most accessible and popular dive sites!
