SUMMARY:Talking Archaeology: The Pine Street Barge Canal Breakwater Ship Graveyard
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum’s Co-Director of Archaeology\, Paul Gates\, for a free and engaging lecture on the Pine Street Barge Canal Breakwater Ship Graveyard. \n\n\n\nThe Pine Street Barge Canal Breakwater Ship Graveyard is located on the waterfront of Burlington\, Vermont and contains a number of abandoned vessels that give us a glimpse into the history of Lake Champlain. Representing a period dating from the early half of the 19th century into the middle of the 20th century\, these shipwrecks are records of the changing social\, economic\, and technological trends of the Burlington waterfront. Paul will explain how he investigated the creation and history of this ship graveyard through the lens of behavioral archaeology and site formation processes. \n\n\n\nThe lecture will be held in the auditorium of the Hoehl Family Education and Visitor Center. The lecture will last approximately 30-45 minutes with a Q&A session afterwards. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is free to attend\, no registration required.

SUMMARY:Shipwreck Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore a shipwreck… without getting wet! There are hundreds of historic shipwrecks in Lake Champlain. Join us as we take a tour boat to the site of the Champlain II shipwreck and go for a “dive” using an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Our robotic camera sends back real-time video to an on-board monitor as we share the vessel’s dramatic story. Don’t miss this incredible experience- for all ages! \n\n\n\nWe will gather on the Museum green at 10:00 and proceed to Basin Harbor as a group at 10:10 to begin the tour\, which will run from 10:30 to noon. The walk to Basin Harbor is approximately a half-mile on pavement\, and visitors are welcome to drive if needed. For accessibility requests and information please contact us by email at info@lcmm.org or by phone at 802-475-2022.  \n\n\n\nTickets are $25 for kids and $40 for adults.  \n\n\n\nPlease note that due to weather conditions\, the lake level may fluctuate. In higher water conditions\, the lake is perfectly safe to enjoy by boat\, but our small ROV may not be able to dive. No matter the lake level\, you will still be able to go on a boat tour\, see shipwreck footage\, and hear exciting stories! In the event of cancellation due to severe weather\, we will notify you in advance and tickets will be refunded or transferred to an open date. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Flora and Fauna of Lake Champlain
DESCRIPTION:What plants and animals live in the Lake Champlain Basin? Which species are native and which ones are invasive? Come learn about the vast species that inhabit the Lake Champlain Basin in this on-water program! From birds and fish to aquatic plants\, the flora and fauna of Lake Champlain are sure to excite! During this 2-hour on-water program\, you will have a chance to learn about the different species living in the Lake Champlain Basin\, the habitats of different species\, which species are invasive\, and how the flora and fauna of the Basin interact with one another. This program uses the Museum’s fleet of canoes and is best suited for those who feel they can get in and out of a canoe\, which requires a sense of balance as well as sitting down into a low boat\, and an ability to paddle for short distances. Children under 10 can take a middle seat at the bottom of the boat\, where they will just go along for the ride with no paddling expectation. Be sure to bring clothing that can get wet as well as water to stay hydrated. We will provide canoes\, paddles and personal flotation devises (PFDs). We also recommend you bring a hat and sunscreen to stay protected from the sun. This program is weather-dependent and we will communicate cancellations the morning of the scheduled outing.   \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

There is an 18-inch step down from the dock into the boat. The boats are stationed at the waterfront in North Harbor\, accessible by a moderately steep gravel path that leads to an ADA accessible dock.
