FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site Research Results The former location of the Syracuse Yacht Club was investigated using side scan sonar and a remotely operated vehicle. The investigations were hampered by dense aquatic vegetation surrounding the site. Investigations focused on the northern half of the site where water depths greater than two feet (.61m) permitted access for the research vessel. In these areas no evidence of any wooden structures (pilings, docks, piers) were seen in any of the sonar or ROV work. However, an area of pilings does still exist in the southeast corner of the peninsula. The pilings could be seen from a distance, but extremely shallow water and dense aquatic vegetation prevented a close-up inspection (Figure 90). Analysis of lake charts suggests that the actual location of most of the Syracuse Yacht Club is below the peninsula which juts out into the lake (Figure 91). The shoreline is composed of slag fill likely from the adjacent Crucible Steel. Map overlays indicate that the boathouses are completely buried under fill, while the area of pilings on the southeastern edge of the peninsula is likely part of the clubhouse. A sunken car is located off the northeastern side of the peninsula in approximately 30 feet (91.m) of water. The vehicle, which is heavily covered in zebra mussels, appears to be a 1970s vintage sedan (Figure 93). Figure 90.
