On this Throwback Thursday it is all about the Ticonderoga II! Wilbur Dow purchased her from from a moth-balled fleet of old WWII LCI(L)'s (Landing Craft Infant...ry - Large) back in 1949 for $11,000 ($119,618.53 in 2020). She was then sailed up the Hudson River, through the Champlain Canal, and into Lake Champlain. She sailed to a point near Ticonderoga and at this point she was then cut into 4 sections and moved 5 miles (right through downtown Ticonderoga!!) overland to a point of land just north of the company's dry dock in Baldwin (just south of Ticonderoga) on Lake George. When she arrived at Baldwin she was reassembled for a cost of $250,000 (a cost of $2.72 million in 2020) as a passenger vessel. The Ticonderoga was launched in Lake George in October of 1950. Here is every shot we have of the Ticonderoga during that journey from the Atlantic to Lake George! Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Ticonderoga360
