Lake Champlain Maritime Museum - Outboards and Iceboats

A 2 storey building on the museum grounds is devoted to housing the ice sailboat "Storm King".  Authentic (original) video footage shows the ice sailing craft catching the wind under full sail on the frozen Hudson River.  There is no disguising the thrill of such an outing.  She could reach speeds of 100 miles per hour (capable of 3 to 5 times the wind speed).  Those affluent enough to take part in such a sport are quoted as saying, "its exciting because its dangerous".  No doubt about that!
Another building on the grounds houses a very interesting collection of the first 100 years of outboard motors.  Sharing the space as well is a beautifully restored Chris Craft yacht. 
We thoroughly enjoyed touring this very interesting museum and it's beautiful exhibits.
