The Lois McClure, an 88-foot full-scale replica of a 19th century lake freighter, sets sail from Lake Champlain’s Basin Harbor today bound for Quebec City.

The occasion for the trip is the provincial capital’s upcoming 400th birthday celebration.

The ship will serve as a floating ambassador for Vermont as it makes its way toward the city near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.

It’s also hoped that it will promote next year’s quadricentennial of European exploration of Lake Champlain.
