Dive to examine sunken tug in Lake Champlain for potential leakage delayed until spring Associated Press Last update: July 29, 2010 - 9:55 AM MONTPELIER, Vt. - Plans to check out a sunken tug boat in Lake Champlain for potential fuel leakage won't happen until the spring.

McAllister sank about five miles south of Port Kent, N.Y., in November 1963 after it hit a reef.

Lake Champlain is on the border between Vermont and upstate New York.
