The "Lost Sub" Documentary Project |
|
USS Lagarto was one of 28 submarines built by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company during World War II. Lagarto was on her second war patrol when she sank just weeks before the end of the war with 86 seamen aboard. For 60 years, the sub was lost in the Pacific Ocean, her final resting place unknown.
Lagarto was finally found in 2005, sitting upright in 225 feet of water. To explore the first WWII sub ever found and capture underwater high-definition footage of Lagarto for a documentary, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum sponsored an expedition led by the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives,” Richie Kohler and John Chatterton. With this history-making documentary, experience Kohler and Chatterton’s dive to explore the mystery behind Lagarto’s final battle. The documentary includes excerpts of unforgettable interviews with the crew’s surviving family members, as well as first-hand battle experiences recalled by submarine veterans. Learn what Lagarto’s discovery tells us about men of the sea during wartime and the families they left behind.
Your purchase of “Lost and Found: The Legacy of USS Lagarto” supports the museum’s ongoing submarine education programs.
