Florida canal across Matanzas Inlet sparks revival debate
A Savannah correspondent argues a Matanzas Inlet canal across the Florida peninsula is the most practical route to connect Atlantic harbors with Suwannee River regions. He cites extensive land reclamation, reduced coastwise travel by 1000 to 1200 miles, substantial savings on shipwrecks and insurance, and potential toll revenues up to 10 million annually, especially with the Darien Canal completing a regional traffic shift. The piece also notes reports from Paris on red gems and a Berlin firm claiming to manufacture the Russian tale or Nielse Silver, detailing materials and composition for a vivid blue alloy.
