Ethan Allen
Ethan Allen ( – February 12, 1789) was an American farmer, businessman, land speculator, philosopher, writer, lay theologian, American Revolutionary War patriot, and politician. He is best known as one of the founders of Vermont and for the capture of Fort Ticonderoga early in the Revolutionary War. He was the brother of Ira Allen and the father of Frances Allen. Allen was born in rural Connecticut and had a frontier upbringing, but he also received an education that included some philosophical teachings. In the late 1760s, he became interested in the New Hampshire Grants, buying land there and becoming embroiled in the legal disputes surrounding the territory. Legal setbacks led to the formation of the Green Mountain Boys, whom Allen led in a campaign of intimidation and property destruction to drive New York settlers from the Grants. He and the Green Mountain Boys seized the initiative early in the Revolutionary War and captured Fort Ticonderoga in May 1775. In Sep ...

Ethan Allen Boating Accident
The ''Ethan Allen'' was a 40-foot, glass-enclosed tour boat operated by Shoreline Cruises on Lake George in upstate New York. On October 2, 2005, at 2:55 p.m. local time, with 47 passengers—mostly seniors—aboard, the ''Ethan Allen'' capsized and sank just south of Cramer Point in the Town of Lake George. Twenty passengers died, causing government regulators to consider new laws on passenger boat capacity. Boat There was a rumor that the glass windows on the boat had acted like a box, trapping the passengers inside. However, it was later established by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) that there were no glass windows; they were made of acrylic glass and fitted in a swing-up frame. The frame attached to the overhead canopy. At the time of the accident, they were swung up and out of the way. They remained in that position even with the boat sinking and were still up when the boat was recovered. Further reports showed that with the canopy installed the ...

Ethan Allen-class Submarine
The ''Ethan Allen'' class of fleet ballistic missile submarine was an evolutionary development from the ''George Washington'' class. The ''Ethan Allen'', together with the , , , and classes comprised the "41 for Freedom" that were the Navy's main contribution to the nuclear deterrent force through the late 1980s. Design Rather than being designed as attack submarines with a missile compartment added, the ''Ethan Allen''s were the first submarines designed "from the keel up" as Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines carrying the Polaris A-2 missile. They were functionally similar to the ''George Washington''s, but longer and more streamlined and with torpedo tubes reduced to four. In the early and mid-1970s, they were upgraded to Polaris A3s. Because their missile tubes could not be modified to carry the larger diameter Poseidon missile, they were not further upgraded.
