Connecticut divers have discovered the wreckage of an experimental submarine that was built in 1907 and later scuttled in Long Island Sound.
The Defender, a 92-foot-long vessel, was found Sunday by a team led by Richard Simon, a commercial diver from Coventry, Connecticut.
Simon said he's been interested in the story of the Defender for years.
