Dr. Crisman latest projects center around
the archaeology and history of Lake Champlain.
Over the past twenty years researchers
working for the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the Lake
Champlain Maritime Museum have been able to locate and study
examples of nearly every type of vessel that ever floated upon
Champlain's waters. The many spectacular finds are making it
possible to write a new and more detailed history, one that
concentrates on the ships and on the people, some famous and
many unknown, who sailed upon the "mountain waves"
of Lake Champlain.
