The cruise begins on the Hudson opposite the town of Bethlehem (NY) heading north passing many areas where 18th century patriots once lived. From the Bethlehem, the cruise includes visits at Albany, Mechanicville, the Saratoga Battlefield, Fort Edward, Whitehall, Mount Independence, Fort Crown Point, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and Westport. From Westport, the cruise reverses direction and heads south with visits to Fort Ticonderoga, Fort Ann, Schuylerville, Stillwater, and Waterford.Houghton, Raymond C. is the author of 'Revolutionary War Cruise On The Champlain Canal', published 2003 under ISBN 9781931373142 and ISBN 1931373140.
