Revolutionary War Ship, The Royal Savage

Lot # 8342 (Sale Order: 354 of 506)      

Remnants, boards, partial hull of The Revolutionary War Ship, The Royal Savage which was commanded by Benedict Arnold and played a prominent role in The Battle of Valcour. Captain L. F. Haagland, a Long Island underwater salvage operator and historian , played an important role in raising both The Royal Savage and The Philadelphia, ships from Benedict Arnold's Battle of Valcour fleet. Spurred on by a Peruvian fishing guide, John Manley, who told him about some "old timber" piled up about 15 feet beneath the surface of Lake Champlain, Haagland, who had studied marine engineering at Lehigh, started a search. In 1934, two years after he discovered the location of the ship, Haaglund raised the hull. The ship had been burned before it sunk. Haaglund would also raise The Philadelphia, a romantic gondola like ship from the waters off of Valcour Island. Also commanded by Benedict Arnold as part of the fleet, it has been re-constructed and is on exhibit at The Smithsonian. L. F. Haaglund died in 1960. A lifelong resident of Long Island, it was his wish to be buried in Lake Champlain. About 2000, his son Hudson, who at age 8 or 9 , was chasing rabbits on Valcour Island , as his Dad raised this Revolutiionary War ship, fulfilled his wishes and scattered his ashes into Lake Champlain.
