diver and renowned lake explorer Rick Krueger spends his days out on Madison Wisconsin's Yahara Lakes, which have preserved a lot of history just beneath the lake's surface. Thanks to modern 3D imaging technology, he has found 70 shipwrecks and cars






Krueger's findings provide great destinations for divers and fellow explorers like Tamara Thomsen, an underwater archaeologist with the Wisconsin Historical Society.

She's the one that found a 1200-year-old Ho-Chunk dugout canoe last year. Some of her favorite spots to explore include a section of lake floor off of Picnic Point home to several cars, boats and other structures

Between Thomsen and Krueger, the two have found hundreds of artifacts on the lake floor, which until now, have remained invisible to most people.

But that's changing.

That's because Thomsen and her crew of researchers are able to use new 3D imaging technology to scan some of the lake's underwater features and bring them to life in a virtual reality space.

The models reveal several cars that slipped through the ice before roads were widespread, sunken ships and sailboats


This is the same lake and diver, that found the 50 Ford I posted https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2019/02/finding-1950-ford-in-lake-waubesa-in.html
