Boldt Castle -Thousand Islands, USA
Boldt Castle is a major landmark and tourist attraction in the Thousand Islands region of the U.S. state of New York.
George Boldt, general manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City and manager of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, and his family enjoyed an earlier frame cottage on Hart Island (the island's original name) for several summers, which they greatly expanded. In 1900, George Boldt launched an ambitious construction campaign to build a huge masonry structure, one of the largest private homes in the United States. He engaged the architectural firm G. W. & W. D. Hewitt and hundreds of workers for a six-story castle as a present to his wife. In addition, four other masonry structures on the island are architecturally notable. Equally distinctive is a huge yacht house on neighboring Wellesley Island, where the Boldts had another summer home and a vast estate, incorporating farms, canals, a golf course, tennis courts, stables, and a polo field.
The construction of Boldt Castle ceased abruptly in early 1904 after the death of Boldt's wife, Louise Kehrer Boldt. Boldt never returned to Heart Island, leaving this structure as a monument of his love.
Boldt Castle ist eine Haupttouristenattraktion und Sehenswürdigkeit der Thousand Islands. Es liegt auf Heart Island in den Thousand Islands des Sankt-Lorenz-Stromes, auf der New Yorker Seite der Grenze zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada. Boldt Castle ist Ziel vieler Tagesausflügler und kann per Bootstour oder mit dem eigenen Boot erreicht werden.
George C. Boldt, geboren am 25. April 1851 in Bergen auf Rügen, ein reicher Hotelmagnat aus New York City, Pächter und Betreiber des Waldorf-Astoria-Hotels, wollte für seine Familie und sich, insbesondere aber für seine Frau, ein unvergleichliches Wohnhaus schaffen. Es sollte das größte und schönste private Wohngebäude Nordamerikas und Symbol für seine Liebe zu seiner Frau Louise werden. 1894 begannen die Bauarbeiten für das erste Nebengebäude. Der Bau des sechsstöckigen, einem europäischen Schloss nachempfundenen Hauptgebäudes, begann im Jahre 1900. Der Bau war im Jahre 1904 nahezu vollendet, als Boldts Frau plötzlich verstarb. Noch am selben Tag wurden die Arbeiten an dem Gebäude eingestellt, und Boldt betrat die Insel nie wieder.
The Thousand Islands constitute an archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddles the Canada–US border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch for about 50 miles (80 km) downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario and the U.S. islands in the state of New York.
The islands range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, or uninhabited outcroppings of rocks. To count as one of the Thousand Islands, emergent land within the river channel must have at least one square foot (0.093 m2) of land above water level year-round, and support at least two living trees.
Die Thousand Islands (dt. „Tausend Inseln“) liegen am Abfluss des Ontariosees in der Grenzregion zwischen Kanada und den USA an den Anfängen des Sankt-Lorenz-Stroms. Die Inselgruppe besteht aus 1864 Inseln, wobei Wolfe Island die mit Abstand größte ist und Insel Nr. 15 die kleinste. 21 dieser Inseln bilden den Thousand-Islands-Nationalpark, den kleinsten Nationalpark Kanadas. Seit 2002 ist die Gegend ein UNESCO-Biosphärenreservat.
Die größte Touristenattraktion ist Boldt Castle auf Heart Island, das vom aus Preußen stammenden Hotelier George C. Boldt zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts im Stil einer mittelalterlichen Rheinburg erbaut wurde. ( Wikipedia )

Entry from: Baie-Sainte-Catherine, Canada
Entry Title: Whale Watching
Entry:
Today was whale watching day, but as we drove up the road from Quebec to San Simeon, we noticed that the entire river valley was socked in with dense fog. The air temperatures were very hot that week, and the high humidity combined with the relatively low water temperature can lead to these kinds of conditions.
Of course, we tried to trust the GPS with directions, and we were pretty good until the thing suggested we drive off into a small neighborhood on our way to a shorter route. During that part of the trip we encountered a one-way street that we could not navigate, and we also were blocked by an 18-wheeler that was stuck trying to make a turn in this small neighborhood and was hitting other vehicles as he attempted to get out of the jam. (In retrospect - seeing an 18-wheeler in this neighborhood should have given me some confidence that the route was valid - but it didn't seem that way at the time...). We also made a stop at one of the many Tim Hortons coffee shops to pick up some coffee.
We persevered, and eventually made it to the whale watching site in San Simeon. After further confusion on where to park and get oriented for the trip, we discovered that the trip had been cancelled due to some rough-ish seas at the dock that made it hard to get in or out of the boat. At least, that's what we think it was. This far up the river, the English language is not understood or spoken by everyone, and we had quite some fun trying to explain things or understand issues when unexpected events took place. For us, it was part of the fun.
Anyway, we came to learn that we could be scheduled on another trip that launched out of a site another 30 minutes up the road, at Baie-Sainte-Catherine, across the fjord from Tadoussac (see Tadoussac Wiki). What the heck, we thought -- hoping that for all of this trouble we would at least be able to see one whale through the fog -- which seemed to get more dense every hour. Would this stuff ever burn off? It didn't seem so.
Up we went to the next whale watching site. We had some time to kill, so we did our best to soak up the atmosphere in the small town. Fortunately, there was a marine museum of sorts right by the dock where the boats launched -- and we were able to learn some interesting things about this particular part of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Turns out that at this spot, the river goes from being 1000 feet deep to being about 200 feet deep, and the tidal action causes the deep, cold water with all of it's excellent nutrients to be forced up near the surface. This is why the whales like this area so much. Warm-water swimming, with cold-water food. We got some of our own food at a nearby hotel that acted as a staging area for tourists preparing for the whale watching trips.
Finally we were on our boat, and to our surprise the visibility was fine. Almost immediately after leaving the dock, we ran into a pod of beluga whales (yes, it's a pod. For other animal group names, see s/AnimalGroups.html). We continued to see belugas, fin whales, and a minky whale (insert Inspector Clouseau joke here) the entire 3-hour trip. It was fantastic, and by the time we started to head back, the fog actually started lifting, and we could finally get a sense of the beauty around us. Fantastic!
After driving back to Quebec (staying on the main road all the way this time, just to anger the GPS) we walked up into town again for some good eats. What a day...
