The Great Beaufort Canal and Inland Waterway Route
A historic article describes the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal as a key link in the Inland Waterway, destined to serve traffic from Boston to Miami. It highlights the Heavily navigable sound, the Roanoke and other rivers feeding fresh water, major shad fisheries, and the canal’s single tidal lock. It notes government plans to take over the route and its potential as a winter voyage for yachtsmen, ending with Roanoke Island’s headland rising from the water.
