Oh Crap! Ghost Town Underwater 64yrs Reappears in Drought

Forgotten Ghost Town Submerged Underwater 64 Years Ago Reappears in Drought

Drone test pilot Devon Dewey shared incredible snaps on Twitter following a serious drought which revealed the foundations of the forgotten town of Rockport in Utah, US

A forgotten 'ghost town' that was submerged underwater after a dam was built has risen from its watery grave 64 years later.

The town of Rockport in Utah, US, disappeared completely in 1957 - five years after the White House green lit the construction of the Wanship Dam.

At the time, a total of 27 families still lived in the once thriving little town, located in a narrow part of Weber Valley at the mouth of Three Mile Canyon, reports the Daily Star.

The remaining residents protested against the development but the government went ahead and purchased the entire valley, and in preparation for the dam, created the Rockport Reservoir, quickly submerging the whole community.

Last week, drone test pilot Devon Dewey shared incredible snaps on Twitter following a serious drought which revealed the foundations of the old town.

He told KSL News : "It was really interesting to be standing at an overlook for the reservoir and to see faint traces of foundations of old homes and a road all below where the water would normally be.

"The whole area is pretty flat and uniform, so even though the foundations are old and mostly gone, you can still see them clearly if you know where to look.

"Using a drone to get a higher perspective helped to see where structures once stood over 70 years ago.

After the government purchased the land nearly a hundred years later, some of the buildings were removed so that they could be preserved for history.

They were moved to Pioneer Village at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington.

Following this year’s drought, only small boats and personal watercraft are allowed to launch, although officials have advised people to do so “at your own risk”.

Even though water levels have declined, the ground may be muddy from years of being underwater, so officials have advised people to be cautious and use drones if they want to see the remnants of the ‘ghost town’.
