SUMMARY:Lois McClure Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Families on canal boats similar to the Lois McClure would spend the majority of their year on the water\, and now you can get a sense of what canal boat life would be like too! Climb on board this replica of a 1862-class sailing canal boat to learn about the lives and culture of canal boaters\, through artifacts collected from two real 19th century canal boat wrecks. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The path down to the waterfront is gravelly and steep\, and there is a steep ramp leading up to the Lois McClure. If you are interested in only browsing the artifacts from the two shipwrecks\, contact museumeducator@lcmm.org to set up time for a Lois McClure Collections showing in the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Virtual Archaeology Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third annual Virtual Archaeology Conference! Each year\, researchers and archaeologists with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum come together to share new research\, developments\, and discoveries from their work in Lake Champlain in this virtual summit that is open and free for all to attend. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, our team will explore big questions through the lens of our ongoing archaeological work in Arnold’s Bay such as: how do archaeologists make the call on what to conserve and what not to conserve? What happened to Benedict Arnold’s 1776 flagship\, the row galley Congress\, after its abandonment? What can we learn from artifacts that were excavated by past archaeologists compared to those taken for salvage or as keepsakes by people of the past? What can the hull of the Congress tell us about the construction of the colonial naval fleet on Lake Champlain and specifically row galleys? \n\n\n\nThe full schedule and list of presenters are detailed below.  \n\n\n\nThis virtual conference will be presented on Zoom webinars and is free to attend. Please register in advance to receive the direct conference link by using the “Register Now” button. For accessibility requests please contact us by email at info@lcmm.org or by phone at 802-475-2022.  \n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\nVirtual Archaeology Conference 2024: Presentations & Speakers\n\n\n\nWelcome and IntroductionChris Sabick\, Executive Director\, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum \n\n\n\nLegacy Collection: Leege Collection Artifacts from Arnold’s BayPatricia Reid\, Development Assistant and Collections Manager\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumIn the 1960s\, a group of avocational archaeologists under William Leege conducted an excavation of the starboard side of a portion of the row galley Congress. The artifact collection recovered during these excavations was donated to the Maritime Museum in 1997 and is managed by the Museum under its repository collections agreement with the United States Navy. This presentation will discuss the methodology of the 1960s excavation and its impact on our current archaeological work. It will also cover the recent reorganization process of its artifact collection conducted at the Museum in 2023.  \n\n\n\nArnold’s Bay Artifacts: Conservation and ContextCherilyn Gilligan\, Assistant Director of Archaeology\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumIn the world of archaeology\, context is everything. Artifacts lose significance without details of their surrounding matrix in-situ and less can be learned overall about the past by objects separated from their archaeological context. This presentation examines the artifacts of the Arnold’s Bay Project and beyond and discusses how the context of these objects helps us to interpret the overall site. In addition to site interpretations\, we will look at the conservation needs of this archaeological collection\, discuss the nature of archaeological sampling\, and learn about conservation processes for different types of materials. \n\n\n\nThe Excavation and Documentation of the Revolutionary War Row Galley CongressChris Sabick\, Executive Director\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumIn the fall of 2022 archaeologists from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum began the exploration of the abandonment site of the flag ship of the colonial naval fleet on Lake Champlain in 1776\, the Row Galley Congress. Test excavations in 2022 revealed that substantially more of the wreck was present at the site than previously suspected. Excavation and documentation of the hull remains continued through the summer of 2023 and this presentation will present the initial findings of the project and discuss the design and construction of this poorly understood vessel class.  \n\n\n\nSite Formation Processes: Defining the Theoretical Process of Archaeology for the Revolutionary Warship CongressPaul Gates\, Lab and Project Manager\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumThe archaeological remains of the Revolutionary Warship Congress provide an interesting case study of the theoretical principles of Site Formation Processes in the exploration of how the vessel has changed over time since its construction as a warship to the current management of the vessel and the surrounding archaeological site. Site formation processes are defined as the “processes of human behavior that affect or transform artifacts after their initial period of use in a given activity.” This process preserves artifacts in the systemic context to create the historic record through reuse\, the archaeological record through the deposition of artifacts\, and any consequent cultural alterations of material in both records. This presentation will inform our audience on the history and use-life of Congress and how it fits into the overall theoretical framework of Site Formation Processes.  \n\n\n\nLive Q&A with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Archaeology TeamPatricia Reid\, Cherilyn Gilligan\, Chris Sabick\, and Paul Gates \n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:World Water Day
DESCRIPTION:In 1993\, World Water Day was initiated by the United Nations to draw attention to the issues and threats surrounding the world’s water resources.

SUMMARY:Boat Launch Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of this year’s 25-foot rowing gig built by students!  \n\n\n\nOver the course of this school year\, a group of students from Middlebury Union High School and the Addison Consortium Program have been participating an alternative program with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum where they come to the museum weekly and learn how to build a 25’ wooden rowing gig. It’s been an incredible journey for all of them\, including a trip to the forest to learn how to select a tree that will be used to build a boat and literally building the boat from tree to finished vessel alongside our expert boat builders. The boat will join our fleet of rowing gigs that are used by high school rowing teams\, rowing clubs\, and summer trips. \n\n\n\nOn May 23\, with an audience of boat builders\, parents\, teachers\, and staff\, the students will present their finished boat\, share a little bit about their experience building\, and then we’ll parade them down to the harbor where they will launch their boat for the very first time. It’s a special moment for the Museum\, the schools\, families\, and above all the students.

SUMMARY:Spring Wave Race 2024
DESCRIPTION:The spring open-water rowing season for all middle and high school rowing teams ends with this seasonal championship race at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum! Over 100 youth rowers from around Vermont and New England will participate in races. All are welcome to join us and cheer these rowers on from the Museum’s harbor. \n\n\n\nEach season at the end of the Spring Wave\, the Museum’s Director of Maritime Programs Nick Patch also presents the Bradley Cunningham Award to a graduating senior rower\, nominated by coaches. The award is named after Brad Cunningham\, who was a participant and then junior leader in our Champlain Discovery summer kayak program for five years. He rowed and raced in our first pilot gig Spirit of Otter Creek launched in 1999. Brad was passionate about on-water programs\, knew how to lead by example\, and was a bright light of positivity for all who knew him. He tragically died in a ski accident in January 2001. We offer this award annually to the graduating senior rower that stood out as a positive role model and leader for our youth rowing community. \n\n\n\nYouth rowers must register to participate in this race through their rowing team or as part of their rowing season registration. Please check with your rowing coach if you are not sure if you are registered. The public is always welcome to attend races for free and cheer on participating crews!
