Ghost Fleet Awakened
Chronicles the history and archaeological study of Lake George, New York’s sunken bateaux of 1758. In Ghost Fleet Awakened, Joseph W.

By infusing the book with underwater archaeology doctrine, Zarzynski shows the nautical sig...

Lochend--Monster Hunting on the Run
Cryptozoologist-turned-maritime-archaeologist Joseph W. Zarzynski's new book LOCHEND--MONSTER HUNTING ON HE RUN is about the golden age of monster hunting at Loch Ness, Scotland. The Saratoga County, New York author chronicles the late 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, when sophisticated technology was first employed trying to solve the Nessie enigma. That specialized equipment was developed because Cold War tensions necessitated advanced remote sensing to probe the deepest oceans. Since April 1933, when Aldie and John Mackay, Drumnadrochit, Scotland residents, sighted a strange creature splashing about on the surface of the 22 1⁄2 mile-long Loch Ness, the world has been fascinated that the waterwa...
Fort William Henry's Moments in Time
Fort William Henry, a French & Indian War (1755-1763) fortress, is largely known to Americans because of its role in the 1826 historical novel, The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. The book was later made into several movies by that name. The British frontier garrison on the shores of Lake George, New York, only lasted from 1755 to 1757. Nonetheless, its grounds have had a remarkable history. It was the locale of seasonal occupations of prehistoric Indigenous Peoples, a colonial military stronghold, a site of three luxury hotels, a terminus for the Delaware & Hudson railroad, and since 1954, a popular museum. In the 70 chapters in Fort William Henry, Moments in Time, author Joseph W. Zarzynski presents highly informative stories about the narrative of Fort William Henry. That historical account is complemented by over 75 photographs, illustrations, and maps. The book's chapters are mainly gleaned from Zarzynski's columns in the Lake George Mirror newspaper.
