Eisenhower and Queen Open St. Lawrence Seaway Voyage
President Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth prepare to formally open the St. Lawrence Seaway aboard the Britannia, cruising from St. Lambert to Beauharnois and inspecting locks as 1,500 ships have already used the waterway since April. The event includes a 21 gun salute, a 100 man honor guard, and a royal procession watched by thousands.
