A very quick and easy cache located at a little-known launching area on the North River.
Chittenden Shipyard, 1690-1871, was the launch site of the schooner "Helen M. Foster" in 1871, the last ship built at the North River Shipyards. Over 71 vessels were built at this shipyard. Job Randall, who built here about 1690, was probably the first shipwright to occupy this yard. The first record of vessels built here was 1694, the "Hopewell," a 40-ton brigantine. Randall built ships for Samuel Lillie and Andrew Belcher of Boston. Most of the vessels built for Andrew Belcher were privateers used in the French War.
