The Great International Steamboat Flotilla Tuesday, June 30, 2009  Come to the shores of the Champlain Canal at Lock 5 and the dock of Hudson Crossing Park for a look at more than 20 historic and reproduction steamboats as they travel on their Quadricentennial Excursion. The boats are part of The Great International Steamboat Flotilla, a group of American and Canadian steamboat owners who plan cruises with their boats every year. The Champlain Canal was chosen for this year's cruise so that a steamboat presence can properly honor the Robert Fulton aspect of the Quadricentennial.

A river does not just happen; it has a beginning and an end. Its story is written in rich earth, in ice, and in water-carved stone, and its story as the lifeblood of the land is filled with colour, music and thunder.
