Rene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de la Salle was an arrogant monk-turned-adventurer (this sounds like the start of a D&D campaign) responsible for most of the French expansion in the Great Lakes area and along the Mississippi River. Of course, as an adventurer, he's used to loss, but his final expedition was particularly plagued by shipwrecks (multiple), snake bites, prickly pear incidents, and Indigenous nations. Tough break.

Before betraying the burgeoning United States of America to the British for a new rank and some new digs, Benedict Arnold bought the Continental Army some much needed time to recover from the previous season of fighting during the year of 1776. A brilliant tactician, Arnold met the British on Lake Champlain at the Battle of Valcour Island -- arguably America's first naval encounter. Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. Neither had a good time.

Due to a series of events happening in my personal life, this week has been difficult to work on the podcast. Don't worry! This isn't permanent, and we'll be back next week with an episode on the Revolutionary War-era gunboat: The Spitfire, with Chris Sabick of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

In the meantime, check them out! Don't sweat, we'll put these links in the show notes for next week too.

Want to learn about roof tiles? What if I told you there were gargoyles (grotesques), samurai, ninjas, ninja samurai, and samurai ghosts involved? Good, now that I've got your attention, Dr. Mike Perrin, ARIUA, discusses the Hatsushima Island shipwreck, and its possible place on the Tokugawa Timeline.

Time to get wet, nerds.

The Goonies, 1985, is a fictional story about several local kids who find a pirate ship full of treasure in a sea cave, almost frozen in time. Inspired by the shipwreck rumors on the Northwest Oregon coast, seemingly confirmed by the artifacts washing ashore, no one was aware of the true story – the political maneuvering, powerful religious figures, bribery, smuggling, a trial, and a daring escape from port that doomed the Manila Galleon, Santo Cristo de Burgos, to its final resting place in the Pacific.

Audio fixed and re-uploaded on 7/2/2024. I accidentally put the intro between La Follette and Delgado instead of the intro for Delgado. My bad, guys.
