The history from Shotline Diving, “the Dauntless was acquired by the Brown Boat Line in 1921, and it had the capacity to accommodate 100 passengers. It held the distinction of being the largest yacht on the river at the time and operated regular passenger schedules between Clayton and Alexandria Bay, New York ” The remains of the Yacht Dauntless are midpoint between Washington Island (east of Clayton) and Round Island, in about 50 ft of water. This 80 foot double-ender yacht was burned, but some decking and hatches remain. The engine is missing. Some scroll work about the bow and wide decking with bright white caulking is still visible. The metal work for a canvas canope is nearby as well as some large timbers. The model was created by our partner Dan Gildea of Shotline Diving.
