Still Hope For A Cross State Canal
Waterway enthusiasts cling to optimism for a Florida cross state canal despite a War Department rejection and Ickes thumbs down. A 1930 act funded surveys across Georgia and Florida, with a Special Board identifying a ship canal route from the Atlantic to Palatka then toward the Gulf near Withlacoochee, and an all barge option along the same path. The board advised against construction given economics, yet the St Johns Withlacoochee route remains the implied path for future work. A separate Washington PW A report urged a federal loan of 115 million dollars, though it halves the canal’s estimated cost and reaches different conclusions.
