In May 1775, a [[Capture of Fort Ticonderoga|successful surprise attack]] of the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[fort]] at [[Fort Ticonderoga|Ticonderoga]], nearly 300 miles from [[Boston]], secured a massive stock of artillery. But the question was how to bring it back to Boston. After some time, [[Henry Knox]], a self-made officer, organized an incredible expedition which took place in winter, under hazardous weather conditions, to retrieve the guns. The cannons were at first carried on the ground, then loaded on a ship on {{Wiki|Lake George (lake), New York|Lake George}} to go faster but it sank. Once bailed out, the precious material was put on specially built sleds driven by oxen. Snow was too high in places, making the advance on firm ground slow and difficult. River ice was too thin which turned crossings into new challenges. Finally, after a number of adventures, the so-called noble train reached Boston. The whole trip had taken ten weeks but the [[Patriots]] had now cannons with which to besiege the British inside the city.
