Russia's Great Canal Project Chooses Baltic Route
A New York Times correspondent reports European and scientific journals discuss two canal schemes to unite the Dnieper and Bersina with the Dwina and Vistula. The chosen plan, favored by Alexander III, links Riga to Duneberg and Beresina via a 1600 kilometer route, 66 meters wide and 30 feet deep, with 17 ports. The project, costing about 120 million dollars, would keep the entire transit within the Russian Empire, offering sovereignty and vast commercial gains.
