May Settle a Problem Tide Water Route for Isthmian Canal
A letter from Dr. G Wickes, once Bellevue’s physician and now surgeon for the Nicaragua Canal Commission, describes a tide water level route across the isthmus found near Lasardi Caledonia Bay. He cites a 500 foot gap in the divide and a wide valley to the Pacific Ocean, with harbors at Lasardi and San Miguel Bay, arguing the route could be worth about 70 million more than others though the 500 foot cut is a hurdle. Congress may adopt the commission’s report, and the Caledonian route is discussed as a separate historic option from the 1870s effort.
