Recently, I was speaking with a local resident of Scituate, Rhode Island and was enthralled about his stories of a ‘sunken church,’ within the Scituate reservoir. For those unfamiliar with the area, like myself, let me first advise that you CANNOT dive in the reservoir (blast!) because it’s public drinking water that supplies the City of Providence. If you dive, you’ll be subject to arrest. Don’t do it!
However, I am intrigued by the notion there are several sunken villages, full of condemned buildings in the current reservoir. According to the local resident I was speaking with, during times of little rainfall, you can apparently still see the top of a church steeple somewhere in the reservoir!? Can anybody confirm if this is legitimate? Has anyone actually legitimately dove the reservoir for whatever reason—PSD dive or perhaps a survey?? I would love to know more! I’m a bit of a history but and would love to speak with anyone who knows more! —Thanks!
