CANAL ANNIVERSARY - July
was a special date in Delaware
maritime history, as it marked the
both anniversary of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal and was
quietly observed with the nota-
ton by the u. S. Army Corps of
Engineers in Chesapeake City
where the 1,250,000th vessel was
logged through the waterway.
Some of the earlier recordings
on the canal history are somewhat
sketchy and for this reason the
total of vessels which have gone
through the artery which cuts off
400 water miles in the trip from
Baltimore to Philadelphia was act
ually an estimated figure.
The original canal with depth of
10 feet and bottom width of 36 feet
was used by small vessels and bar
ges as a private venture. In 1906
President Theodore Roosevelt ap-
pointed a board to investigate gov
erment operation and improvement
of the canal In 1919 it was pur-
chased by the government and a
true water level seaway project
was begun.
