Forerunner Steamship Links Great Lakes to Europe
A steamship from Chicago to Hamburg signals a regular service linking the great lakes with Europe. More ships of this type are planned as canal projects expand. The Welland Canal, linking Ontario and Erie, costs about 24 million dollars. The Manchester Ship Canal grows, with direct world lines boosting Manchester trade. The Baltic Canal inspires German naval emphasis, and fifty canals exist on paper in the United States. Erie Canal expansion proposals aim to float lake barges to New York.
