Real Time Revolution | Fort Ticonderoga – Fleet & Fortification: The Science of Defense

Daily programs will continue the REAL-TIME approach to our Revolutionary War narrative. Continental portrayals through the spring will evoke the progress of supplies and reinforcements to a beleaguered northern Army in Canada. The summer and fall fatigue projects of recreated entrenchments, soldiers’ huts, and armed vessels will show the struggle to rebuild the army and prepare for the British attack.

Construction of an armed vessel for Lake Champlain and all the maritime trades work to fit out such a boat will be paired with the art of fortification as executed across the Ticonderoga camp. This event will drill into the centuries of military science that informed American ingenuity and effort, in the service of liberty.
