Speaker Series: Simon Lake and the submarine The Defender

This lecture is given by commercial diver, Richard Simon. We are all familiar with Simon Lake’s sub, the Argonaut, as its replica sits right down in Atlantic Highlands Harbor. But among other submarines he built, there was one called the Defender. Lost for almost 80 years, it was finally found in Long Island Sound. Come and listen to this interesting story of the history of Lake, the Defender and its discovery. This free lecture begins at 7:30pm.
