Ferries transported goods from one place to another. They also transported people who needed to travel across one part of the lake to another. The horse ferry cost $10,000.00 to own, including the 2 horses. They were introduced to North America in 1814. They were less expensive than other boats.
This is a ROV,( Remote Operated Vehicle). It has a name, Bob. We saw Bob when we went on Lake Champlain to see the wreck of the Champlain 2. It has an underwater camera that was connected to a television. and we all saw the Champlain 2 20ft. below the water with zebra muscles all over.
