Title

Ticonderoga - Move to Shelburne Museum

Photographer

McAllister, L. L. (Louis L.), 1877-1963.

Description

Undated photo but the winter of 1955 when the steamboat Ticonderoga was moved overland from Shelburne Bay to the Shelburne Museum. The ship rests on a cradle to which it is welded and moves along railroad tracks laid on the frozen ground. The move had to be made in winter in order for the ground to support the rails and the huge amount of weight they had to carry. A helicopter flies above the excursion boat.
