The History of Waterways in the U.S. and Canada

VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton

Constructed in Burlington, Vermont, the Lois McClure brings history to life as a replica of an 1862 sailing-canal boat. Built to ride the canals connecting Lake Champlain and the Hudson River, these canal schooners often lined these waterways as well as those leading to Montreal and Quebec City. These waterways were the highways of their time, and a craft built specifically to navigate these canals was paramount. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com learns more about the history of the Vermont, New York, Quebec region, and the significance of waterways and this type of boat to its development.
