When the Penns Neck Canal was dug
in 1901, connecting Salem Creek
with the Delaware River the creek was
damned off below the creek end of the
canal to force the water through the ca
nal and to hinder the water from going
down the creek by Salem. During the
freshets of late years a channel was cut
around the dam on the Warrington end
and it gradually wore large enough to al
low a shad skiff and cabin tn be hoated
through on a high tide. The water which
should have gone out the canal flowed
through the new channel down the creek
and flooded the meadows, the owners Of
meadows in Warrington have had a mud
digger working this month to stop the
breach and now it is thought the mea,
dows will be dryer. The channel around
the end of the dam made an island o.
Lower Penns Neck and some boatmen
made trips from Salem up the creek
through the canal and down the Rive,
to Salem again, but that trip is now hin
dered by the new dam.
