I was on one of the Lake Champlain Transportation Ferries crossing Lake Champlain at Cumberland Head. LCT owns a large fleet of Ferries at multiple crossings.
These are large boats, that carry cars, tractor trailers etc.

The Captian saw the pictures of my PW's on my Ram and stopped to talk. He told me that in 1954 The Company bought a new Power Wagon for their shipyard at Shelburn Bay where they have a large Marine Railway to haul the boats. They designed special booms on the front of the Power Wagon to aid in removal and install of the propellers. He said the PW is still in use today, used for that special application and some others.

Sometime, maybe Tim or I can stop by and get some pictures of this special application.

I did not ask if the booms were Gin Poles or A Frames, wasn't going there ha ha ha
