Treasure hunt not profitable for Hussar wreck digs
Simon Lake, 70, the submarine inventor, says his three year search for the Hussar wreck in Hell Gate, New York, has yielded only a few coins and junk items. He believes the ship lies buried under mud and tar, possibly weeks from striking the hulk, while his custom bottom-search submarine allows him to walk the river bed through a trap door. The Hussar, a 28 gun frigate, sank after carrying gold and silver for the redcoat army.
