Lake Champlain Transportation companys Plattsburgh is shown tied up to their yard pier on June 21st 2005
Built in 1984 to Lake Champlain Transportations specifications, at Eastern Marine in Panama City
Florida the 172-foot Plattsburgh was built to run in the ice at the Grand Isle-Cumberland Head
crossing. With stainless steel propellers, a beefed up hull, and two 700HP 3508 Caterpillar diesel
engines the Plattsburgh became a workhorse for the company. She has two bathrooms on the main
deck, a second deck for the passenger lounge. The Plattsburgh joined the Grand Isle to keep up
with a growing crossing of trucks and commuters.
