SHIPS LOGS!
From the time people first inhabited our region, the interconnected waterways have played a decisive role in the political, social and economic fortunes of nations. The Lois McClure, hailing from Burlington, Vermont on Lake Champlain, is a replica of a type of boat once common throughout the region. Come aboard Lois McClure and travel back to the 1800s when wooden boats lined the docks.
À partir du moment où l’homme a habité le paysage régional, le réseau interconnecté des cours d’eau a joué un rôle majeur dans la détermination de la politique, du social et de la fortune économique des nations. Le Lois McClure construit à Burlington, au Vermont, sur le lac Champlain, est la réplique d’un bateau typique de la région. Venez à bord du Lois McClure et remonter le temps jusqu’au 19e siècle, l’époque où les bateaux en bois s’alignaient aux quais.

Canal Schooner Lois McClure: History Comes Alive
The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s replica canal schooner Lois McClure is modeled after two 1862-class canal schooners sunk in Lake Champlain. During
their heyday, canal schooners were homeported on Lake Champlain but
regularly plied the canals, rivers and lakes between New York City, Quebec City
and Montreal. Launched in 2004, the Lois serves as a regional ambassador promoting
the shared heritage of Quebecois, Vermonters and New Yorkers.
Canal Schooner Lois McClure: L’histoire prend vie
La réplique de la goélette de canal Lois McClure du Lake Champlain Maritime
Museum est inspiré de deux goélettes de 1862 coulées dans le lac Champlain.
Au cours de leur apogée les goélettes de canal bien que basées sur le lac
Champlain ont sillonées les canaux, les rivières et les lacs entre New York,
Québec et Montréal. Lancé en 2004, le Lois sert d’ambassadeur régional pour
la promotion du patrimoine commun des Québécois, des Vermontais et des
New-Yorkais.
