The "Ti" as she is affectionately called, is our first stop. Our docent, Jack Price, does a splendid job of relaying the story of the Ti.

This map of Lake Champlain shows the waters she sailed.

A steam ship of luxury and beauty, most sailings were very short, taking guests from Vermont to New York and back. Of interest to note: Originally there were 6 life boats. When the museum acquired the Ti, only 4 life boats remained. Would you believe the 5th, shown below, was found on eBay! The 6th remains a mystery.
