Keep your camera ready while flying above the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands Bridge, and cross into US airspace to see the Boldt and Singer Castles, grand, Gilded Age landmarks built with turn-of-the-century fortunes. Look down at the pretty Manhattan Group islands, and hear about the many ships that have gone down in the Thousand Islands fierce storms and howling winds.
