The Ticonderoga is 220-foot steamboat built in Shelburne, Vermont in 1906. It operated as a day boat on Lake Champlain serving ports along the New York and Vermont shores until 1953. In 1955, the ship was moved two miles overland from the lake to Shelburne Museum and restored to its 1923 appearance. It is one of the last walking beam side-wheel passenger steamboats in existence.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.^[1][3]
