U.S.S. Ticonderoga remains The wooden remains of the War of 1812 warship "U.S.S. Ticonderoga" (the first of many historic vessels to bear the name of the nearby famous fort) rest under a rusting metal shed along the old Champlain Canal in downtown Whitehall, N.Y. located next to the town museum. The ship was originally built as one of the world's first steamboats on Lake Champlain, but was quickly refitted to sail to fight the British fleet in the Second Battle of Lake Champlain (aka Battle of Plattsburgh) on Sept. 11, 1814. Landlocked Whitehall was, believe it or not, the birthplace of the U.S. Navy! [Lou Varricchio, 11/22/2004]
