The Canadian islands are in the province of [[Ontario]], the U.S. islands in the state of [[New York]]. The islands, which number 1,793 in all, range in size from over {{convert|40|sqmi|km2|-1}} to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, to even smaller uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are home to migratory [[waterfowl]]. The number of islands was determined using the criteria that any island must be above water level all year round, have an area greater than {{convert|1|ft2|m2}}, and support at least one living tree. |

Дно между островами весьма мелкое и каменистое, поэтому сплав по проливам затруднён, а в ночное время и опасен. |

== Geography == |
|||
Large freighters frequently ply the [[St. Lawrence Seaway]], but the area has so many shoals and rocks that [[maritime pilots]] are sometimes hired to help the vessels travel through the hazardous waterway. Under the Canadian span, a vessel just less than 25 feet (7.6 m) offshore can find itself in over 200 feet (61 m) of water. Similarly, rocks and shoals less than two feet (61 cm) underwater can be found in the center of channels 90 feet (27 m) deep. Because of the great number of rocks and shoals just above or below the water’s surface, it is unwise to travel the waters at night, unless one stays in the main channels and has charts, a chart plotter, or knows the area well. The water is so clear in some areas, that a rocky bottom can be observed in 80 feet (24 m) of water. (It was very murky with a visibility of only a few feet until the arrival of the invading [[Zebra mussels|Zebra Mussels]], roughly around the mid-1990s.) The area features several shipwrecks and is a great place for diving. Although most of the wrecks are over 100 feet (30 m) underwater, some are a mere {{convert|15|ft|m}} below the water’s surface and can be seen by looking overboard. |

Тысяча островов были весьма популярны как курорт в конце 19 — начале 20 века. Здесь соорудил свой замок гостиничный магнат Больдт, забросивший его после смерти жены. Здесь же находится [http://www.abm.org музей старинных кораблей] в Клейтоне. Ещё одно знаменитое сооружение — Замок Певца, [[:en:Singer Castle]] on Dark Island is privately renovated and is open to tourists. |

== Culture == |
|||
The Thousand Islands gave their name to the popular [[Thousand Island Dressing]] around the turn of the 20th century when [[Sophie LaLonde]], of [[Clayton (town), New York|Clayton, New York]] who served the dressing at dinner for guests of her husband, a popular fishing guide, gave the recipe to Clayton hotel owner Ella Bertrand and New York City stage actress [[May Irwin]]. Irwin shared it with hotel magnate [[George Boldt|George C. Boldt]]. |
|||
== History == |
|||
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many distinguished visitors made the region widely known as a summer resort. Several grand hotels provided luxurious accommodations while steamboats offered extensive tours among the islands. Wealthy and middle-class summer residents built summer homes. Some masonry «castles» remain as international landmarks. The most famous extant examples are «The Towers» on [[Dark Island]], now called [[Singer Castle]], and the long-neglected [[Boldt Castle]] on [[Heart Island]], which is slowly being restored. |
|||
During the half century (1874—1912) of the resort’s greatest prominence, most wealthy vacationers came from [[New York City]], joined by prominent families from [[Chicago]], [[Cleveland]], [[Pittsburgh]] and other cities of the United States and Canada. The region retains a historically important collection of vacation homes from this time. The Thousand Islands have long been a center for recreational boating. Large steam yachts, many designed by [[Nathanael Herreshoff]] required distinctive yacht houses. The region was known also for innovative power boating during this period. Three local yacht clubs hosted the [[Gold Cup Races]] of the [[American Power Boat Association]] for nine consecutive years. The [http://www.abm.org/ Antique Boat Museum] of [[Clayton, New York|Clayton]] retains one of the world’s major collections of recreational freshwater boats. |

== Popular boating, fishing and vacationing locations == |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* One of the few beaches in the Thousand Islands, Potter’s Beach on the American Grindstone Island has a fine, shallow sandy bottom with a very gradual slope, perfect for boaters that want to stretch their legs or socialize. |
|||
* A popular location for swimming or anchoring out of the wind, [[the Lake of the Isles]] is a secluded area cut off from the rest of the St. Lawrence River by Wellesley Island and neighboring Canadian Hill Island. Access is limited through two narrow passages. |
|||
* Known for its fishing, Eel Bay is a shallow bay just southwest of Wellesley Island. From the air, the bay can resemble the Caribbean with a turquoise-tinted crystal clear water and sandy bottoms. |
|||
* [[Boldt Castle]], a testament of one man’s love of his wife, has been under renovation by its owner, the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority since 1977, and can be visited by boat or tour cruise. This 120-room mansion and surrounding grounds are available for touring, and is also available for wedding ceremonies. |
|||
* The [http://www.abm.org Antique Boat Museum] in Clayton houses exhibits antique wooden boats used or built in the region. The museum also features exhibits on the region’s maritime culture and is home to the LaDuchess, George Boldt’s luxury houseboat. |
|||
* Though not as famous as George Boldt’s Castle, [[Singer Castle]] on Dark Island is privately renovated and is open to tourists. Frederick Bourne had his castle constructed with secret passageways so that he could spy on his guests. |

Тысяча островов, англ. Thousand Islands — природная достопримечательность Канады и США. Представляет собой архипелаг островов, тянущихся вдоль границы Канады и США по реке Святого Лаврентия в месте её истока с северо-запада озера Онтарио. Архипелаг простирается на длину в 80 км вниз по течению от г. Кингстон, Онтарио. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario, the U.S. islands in the state of New York. The islands, which number 1,793 in all, range in size from over 40 квадратных миль (100 км2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, to even smaller uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are home to migratory waterfowl. The number of islands was determined using the criteria that any island must be above water level all year round, have an area greater than 1 квадратный фут (0,0929030400000 м2), and support at least one living tree.
Дно между островами весьма мелкое и каменистое, поэтому сплав по проливам затруднён, а в ночное время и опасен.
