War Coast Canal From Boston To Mexico
The United States considers linking rivers and sounds to create an inside coastwise waterway from Boston to the Texas border. The plan, costing about 200 million dollars, would connect New York Bay, Delaware Bay, and Chesapeake Bay routes, enabling rapid move of ships, troops, and supplies behind the front and complicating blockade efforts.
