The Steamboat Ticonderoga – Shelburne, VT Who better to restore all the original lighting and brass hardware on the 220-foot
steamship Ticonderoga, a National Historic Landmark, than Conant Metal & Light?
Now housed at the famed Shelburne Museum, the last walking-beam, sidewheel
passenger steamer in existence portrays life on board in 1923 — complete
with carved woodwork, gilded ceilings, staterooms, a grand staircase and, of course,
beautifully preserved brass fixtures. Conant Metal & Light restored and rewired
all of the original period bronze ship lights — upwards of a hundred of them — and
rebuilt countless brass hardware components, including a binnacle cover (compass
housing), for this impressive project.
