Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.shelburnenews.com
Boats powered by steam drove commerce for about a century on Lake Champlain. Ferries and barges were also used, but steamships were the quickest mode of water transportation. Today, steamboats on the lake are a bit slower, a lot smaller, and a rarity.
Enter Russ Steeves, Redbud, and the North American Steamboat Association. Redbud is a pleasure launch that Steeves totes to meets with his truck and trailer. Last stop was two weeks ago at River’s Edge Cottages & Campground in Vergennes for a regional meetup of about 18 steamboats. The biggest meet in Vermont yet, Steeves said.
