Fort Ticonderoga was the key to the North American continent in the mid to late eighteenth Century. Fort Ti, as it was known, sat on the only inland north-south route between Quebec and what is now known as Canada and the United States. Land routes were highly unstable, subject to ambush and loss of life and materials, so this waterway was vital to any travel between the two regions.
