FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR: FORT FRÉDÉRIC/CROWN POINT. Crown Point is about ten miles north of Fort Ticonderoga on the western shore of Lake Champlain. The area was a trade center between the Indian tribes and the French, Dutch and English settlers. In 1731, the French built Fort Frédéric to guard the area. Despite English and colonial expeditions against it, the fort remained in French hands until 1759. Crown Point was then occupied by Lord Jefrey Amherst, who began construction of a large fort near the old Fort Frédéric. These flints, used to provide the spark for flintlock muskets, date from the French occupation.

In 1781 the British transport ship Wadboo Barony, making for Charleston, was sunk in the river entrance by the Americans; the following items were excavated from the wreck.

In the background are two ships, one under sail, the other a steamer.
