As part of the CHSVT Vocational Curriculum at Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, a team has constructed and built a wooden boat, named Endeavor. The Teaching Team has met to formulate plans at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Vergennes, Vermont.

The boat is a 32 foot long pilot gig. The lumber for this boat was milled at the Windsor Prison Farm by students of the Community High School of Vermont.

The lofting work was done by students at the Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport and the actual construction occurred at Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans.

Upon completion, a team of students from Burlington Community Correctional Service Center (CCSC) will be trained as a Crew Team.

It is our hope to challenge other schools and programs who are building similar boats with the assistance of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

The boat was given to Lake Champlain Maritime Museum's LongBoat Program for Youths. The boat is named "Endeavor."

Shown below are photos of the Faculty and Students working on the boat.
