Adirondack Almanack: Ice Fishing: Lake Champlain Shanty Stories
"Anomalies in the ice surface caused the house to spin and lurch at times as it sped along. At one point, it was headed towards a community of ice-fishing shanties.

When the wind died down, a team of horses hauled the house back to Willsboro Point."
