==History==
In the 1970’s the Lake George Steamboat Company saw a demand for a ship that could carry more passengers, serve more and better food, as well as entertain more passengers. So, the company took action and started construction of the biggest ship it had ever made in Baldwin Shipyard.〔"Details For Lake George Steamboat Company Located At 57 Beach Rd, Lake George, 12845 From LakeGeorge.com." LakeGeorge.com. Lake George, n.d. Web. 06 Oct. 2014.〕 The blueprints used for the boat were based on the Peter Stuyvesant,〔"Lac Du Saint Sacrement." Lake George Guide Lac Du Saint Sacrement Comments. Lake George Guide, n.d. Web. 06 Oct. 2014.〕 a boat that used to run the Hudson River until it sunk during the Blizzard of 1978.〔Clancy, Dave. "Hunting New England Shipwrecks." Hunting New England Shipwrecks. Wreckhunter.net, 2001. Web. 14 Oct. 2014.〕 Robert Simons was the marine architect that refined and designed the boat.〔"Lac Du Saint Sacrement History." : Lake George Steamboat Company. Lake George Steamboat Company, n.d. Web. 06 Oct. 2014.〕 The final design ended up being ¾ the size of the Peter Stuyvesant boat on which it was based. This left the boat measuring 189 feet and 6 inches with a beam of 40 feet, making it the largest boat to ever sail the inland waters of the state of New York.〔"Lac Du Saint Sacrement History." : Lake George Steamboat Company. Lake George Steamboat Company, n.d. Web. 06 Oct. 2014.〕 When it came time to name the boat, it was decided that it would be named the same as Lake George was initially in 1646 by Isaac Jogues. The Catholic hierarchy approved the name, the Lac du Saint Sacrement which means Lake of the Blessed Sacrament in French, as well. On June 15, 1989, a ceremony was held to christen the boat. And after many speeches and a blessing by Bishop Raymond Kalisz, the Bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Wewak, Papua New Guinea,〔"Missionary Bishop of Papua New Guinea Leaves a Legacy." Bishop Raymond Kalisz, 1927-2010. Society of the Divine Word, n.d. Web. 14 Oct. 2014.〕 a bottle of champagne was smashed against the ship’s capstan head to officially christen the vessel the Lac Du Saint Sacrement.
