Canal would boost Pacific trade and Gulf exports, says Captain Crowninshield
Captain Crowninshied argues in Century Magazine for the Nicaragua canal as a major economic boon. He notes after Senate passage the canal would shorten grain shipments from California and Oregon, bring the region 8000 miles closer to Europe, and cut voyage time from 135 to 35 days. He cites Pacific wheat and flour volumes and suggests Gulf cotton, lumber, coal, and iron would find cheaper routes via the canal, with direct Mississippi loading and Puget Sound outbound routes, while warning war-time strategic value and the need for swift congressional action.
