Welcoming visitors since 1909, Fort Ticonderoga preserves 2,000 acres of historic landscape on Lake Champlain, and Carillon Battlefield, and the largest series of untouched Revolutionary War era earthworks surviving in America. As a multi-day destination and the premier place to learn more about our nation’s earliest years and America’s military heritage, Fort Ticonderoga, a historic destination with many attractions, welcomes more than 75,000 visitors each year with an economic impact of more than $12 million annually and offers programs, historic interpretation, boat cruises, tours, demonstrations, and exhibits throughout the year, and is open for daily visitation May through October.
Un grand merci pour le passionnant récit de cette grande bataille de Carillon qui n'est pas très connue en France. Si les rois de l'époque avaient écouté Champlain et La Vérendrye, les Etats-Unis parleraient français aujourd'hui.
My son and I took the "Arming the British" program that was held at the research center and even as someone who has been around and studying these guns and history pretty much my whole life, I was amazed at how much was packed into that hour, and not to mention the chance to examine and handle real firearms and parts from the time period, well, that's better than any amusement park. And as far as the Guns by Night tour, that beats any fireworks show you will ever attend.
I knew Bob and Kate Nittolo and witnessed Bob's intense and unbridled enthusiasm for collecting and studying artifacts related to Fort Ticonderoga and this period of history. Well done, Fort Ticonderoga!
Honestly, you guys are probably the best polished living history museum in the country. And I know that's already very few, but I sincerely mean it, even though it has been many years since I have been to your fortress.
Avec 300000 français de plus, les britanniques seraient restés sur la côte Atlantique. Les régions des Grands lacs seraient francophones jusqu'à la Nouvelle Orléans. Les rois de France de l'époque n'ont pas eu la volonté ni la clairvoyance d'entreprendre un peuplement soutenu en Nouvelle France.
Good video. I certainly appreciated the excerpts put in between the footage. In regards to the music, does anyone know the title of the song used? It's not one I recognize.
As a former revolutionary reenactor Made It to Powder Boy On a Cannon crew From Owosso Michigan. The Ppl who Do This are a Dying Breed thankyou for educating Ppl . Have been to Fort Ticonderoga For Battle reenactment in early 1990s spending time with my now Deceased grandfather whom I adored. I’ve Marched In 90deg Heat , swam in lake Champlain getting a rash and Marching the Same day pissed I didn’t get a Break . Now looking back I so Miss those Days And Miss My Grandfather. Thank you Sincerely
Excellent tutorial. If you can pardon a little disagreement from someone not even qualified to be an amateur beginner, I have always preferred to cut my holes short - no longer than the width of the button - because they'll stretch wider with use.
@@leoscheibelhut940 in 1954 I was there at the French lines. Hundreds of yellowed human bones had been exposed by Hurricane Hazel and were sticking out of the ground.
@@leoscheibelhut940 In 1955 when I returned with my dog, it was all covered over again with dirt But my dog would walk around this area in a big half circle and wait for me on the other side coz he knew what was there. He had been there at the French Lines with me every years since 1948. My house was right next to the Cariilon Falls [Lower Falls]. We walked to Fort Ticonderoga thru the French Lines woods to the fort [not by the road] all the time coz the fort was paying me to shoot gophers with my .22 in the Kings Garden every summer.
Thank you all for your comments! Your input ensures we will continue to improve the documentation and identification of these incredible artifacts recovered from the site. Thank you for your support.
Nice video except it's too bad that a fair amount of the terminology used about the locks isn't correct such as the "box lock" which would actually be called a "surface mounted lock" or "Rim Lock". Descriptions of the parts of the keys are also wrong. Maybe in the future you should consult someone "in the field" of your research to help you properly describe the items in your videos. Also, I don't believe any of these locks were on display the last time I visited Fort Ticonderoga (in 2016) with some of the keys being much newer than the fort.
6:32 I believe what you are calling the front of that box lock is actually the plate from a plate stock lock and not part of the box lock. It looks tapered to me, much like a stock lock and longer than the width of the box lock. I can see on it where the bridge ward, tumbler, scotch spring and standard for the bolt would mount to it. It still has part of the bridge ward attached to it 6:37. I'm pretty sure all of the box locks were open on the back side (the side mounted to the door) with a smaller cover plate, which your box lock has. Great video though! I've been looking forward to this one for a while. Thanks for sharing!
