Vast Inland Waterway Plan Aims to Link Atlantic to Gulf
Congress faces a sweeping proposal by Senator Newlands to create a first fund of 500 million dollars for a land waterway paralleling the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The plan envisions a northern canal from Barnstable Bay to Buzzard’s Bay, deepening Delaware and Raritan, and cutting through Currituck Sound toward Pamlico Sound, linking to a Chesapeake route and onward to permit vast inland traffic from the Mississippi to Texas and the Rio Grande. The project involves many officials and experts and may not pass this session.
