Built in the 1820s, this section of the Champlain Canal followed the same natural north-south route chosen by Burgoyne’s invading army many years earlier in the Revolutionary War. Linking the Hudson River with Lake Champlain, the canal joined northern New York State with the western wilderness by way of the Erie Canal. The scene shows the type of canal boat used in the 1830s and 40s.
