The Ticonderoga was a steam paddleboat that traveled on Lake Champlain. It was launched in 1906 at the Shelburne Shipyard. The boat typically went from Westport, NY to St. Albens, VY, running north and south in the lake. The boat continued to run to about 1950. In 1954, the boat was moved over land to the museum. Today, you can go in the boat and see its preserved interior.
