Florida and Jersey water canals key to war era freight
A communication argues that expanding the Intracoastal route with 9 to 23 foot depths via the Florida and New Jersey canals would enable 100-ton barges and petroleum cargo, improving national defense. It claims existing routes risked exposure and stresses rapid completion by Summer 1943 to meet one-third to one-half of wartime needs.
