- Abstract
As the foreword by Kevin Crisman, Director of the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation at Texas A&M University, indicates George R. Schwarz's account of 'the earliest example of a steamboat to be found and studied by nautical archaeologists' is an important work. Launched in 1815, I Phoenix i was early indeed, successfully carrying passengers, goods and news between Canada and the United States whilst travelling across the 172 km-long freshwater Lake Champlain linking New York, Vermont and Quebec. For them Schwarz's I Phoenix i can be a great introduction to the region's maritime history and to maritime archaeology and its many facets, again widening its appeal.
