A vertical speedboat, that was first spotted emerging from the drying lake last year, is once again submerged in water.
, up to 39,500 cubic feet per second of water was released from the dam—a much higher rate than usual. From there, the water traveled through the Grand Canyon, carrying vital water to Lake Mead, which has been drying up due to the drought currently gripping the southwest.
A photo taken in September 2022 shows a vertical speedboat revealed as Lake Mead saw some of the lowest water levels of all time. The reservoir has seen a steady increase in water levels over the past few days.As of May 1, Lake Mead's water levels stood at 1,049.77 feet—the highest it has been since last year.
The reservoir's water levels have risen enough that a vertical speedboat shipwreck, which lies near the Government Wash area of Lake Mead, has once again submerged in water. The vertical speedboat was first documented in May last year by Las Vegas resident Travis Pardee, back when declining water levels were starting to reveal a number of mysterious finds. The boat had somehow surfaced in an upright position, although it is not clear why.During the summer of 2022, Lake Mead saw some of the lowest water levels it has ever seen, reaching a low of 1,040 feet in July. Pictures showed the vertical speed boat still upright, but in a completely dry piece of land.
