Cruise Vermont

M/V Carillon

Cruise from mid May through October, the ALWAYS CALM WATERS of Southern Lake Champlain on the M/V Carillon, an all-weather, HEATED, 60 foot excursion boat, sailing daily from Shoreham, Vermont, just across the lake from Ticonderoga, NY. This off-the-beaten-path, family owned and operated boat built in 1990 in the style of the 1920's Thousand Island luxury cruise boats seats 49 passengers and is radar equipped and Coast Guard inspected.
VIEW the highly significant historic corridor between Whitehall, NY and Shoreham, VT which played such an important role in the development of our country.

Some points of interest are:

Hand's Cove where the Green Mountain Boys met to capture Fort Ticonderoga May 10th, 1775.

Fort Ticonderoga, the only fort on the American continent to be attacked six times by six great armies in one generation.

Mount Independence, the most undisturbed Revolutionary War site in New England.

Mount Defiance where the British mounted the cannon to drive the Continental Army from Fort Ticonderoga in July 1777.

Whitehall, NY the birthplace of the American Navy.

Lock # 12 the first of the locks linking Lake Champlain to the Hudson River.

The captain's live commentary drops you through time from the present to the 1770's as he describes these places. Little known historic anecdotes and local yarns add spice to the narration.
In addition to the majesty of the forts and mountains, your group will enjoy the beauty of wildlife and nature on the unspoiled shoreline of Southern Lake Champlain. In autumn, the colorful FOLIAGE IS SPECTACULAR from the lake, and the warm water maintains the foliage ALL THROUGH OCTOBER.
Available Saturday through Tuesday in July and August. Sail through downtown Whitehall, NY, Lock #12 of the Champlain Canal and into the narrow headwaters of Lake Champlain. See the birthplace of the U.S. Navy, Fiddlers Elbow, and South Bay. Narration includes description of the lock system as well as tales of the Green Mountain Boys and Philip Skene. Board at Skenesborough Museum in Whitehall, NY.
