The world famous boats have navigated the 3-foot deep lagoon in Boston's renowned Public Garden since 1877. In that entire time, they have been owned and operated by a single dedicated family - the Pagets. Over a hundred years ago, Robert Paget was inspired by seeing Richard Wagner's opera, \"Lohengrin,\" in which the title character rescues his heroine, Princess Elsa, in a boat drawn by a swan. Despite their graceful and fanciful appearance, each boat weighs an unswanlike three tons. Pedaling the boats is hardly an effortless task for crewmembers, but their work is greatly appreciated. Since the picturesque boats first came to the Lagoon, they have been enjoyed by residents and tourists alike, and have been the setting for many a romantic proposal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nEach Landmark Creations ornament is blown by mouth and often takes a week to complete. After blowing, the glass is silvered, rinsed and then turned upside down to dry. The silver is applied on the inside, which allows a gorgeous depth of color. Once the ornament is dry, the decorating can begin. Different artists are responsible for applying different colors and details. When the ornament is fully detailed and has been allowed to dry, the neck is trimmed and crowned with an ornament cap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilvered glass christmas tree ornament in the shape of santa claus sitting on a boston swan boat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhimsical, unique.
