The Chazy Landing Ferry completed the major automobile route across northern Lake Champlain from Isle La Motte, Vermont, to Chazy Landing, New York, before the Rouses Point-Alburgh bridge was built. In 1905, Will Sweet designed, built, owned, and operated Lake Champlain's first gasoline-powered ferry, The Twins, named for his sons Clinton and Gerald. In 1916, he constructed a larger ferry named Twin Boys. These ferries operated from 1905 to 1937 and were prominent on early road maps.
