Maintained channels serve the St. Clair River and Detroit River between Lake Huron and Lake Erie.

The Great Lakes Waterway is supplemented by the Saint Lawrence Seaway , which makes the Saint Lawrence River navigable from Montreal to Kingston, Ontario . The two waterways are often jointly referred to as the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Great Lakes Waterway has larger locks and deeper drafts than the St. Lawrence Seaway with the result that a number of lake freighter s are confined to the lakes, being small enough to operate on the Waterway but too large to pass down the Seaway.

The Salem Beverly Waterway Canal , sometimes called the Grand Wenham Canal , is an aqueduct canal in Topsfield, Massachusetts Topsfield and Wenham, Massachusetts . It was never used to transport anything but water and recreational canoists. The canal was built in 1917 to provide water for Beverly, Massachusetts and Salem, Massachusetts , and is owned with its adjacent land by the Salem Beverly Water Commission. It was dredged and widened in 1974, with gravel roads built on each side of the canal. The canal carries water from the Ipswich River , Topsfield, Massachusetts Topsfield , through the Wenham Swamp to Wenham, Massachusetts Wenham . From there, a pipeline also constructed in 1917 carries it to Wenham Lake . History In 1911 the State Board of Health was directed by the General Court of Massachusetts to investigate the feasibility of diverting water from the Ipswich River to augment the dwindling water supply of the Salem Beverly region. The resulting House Document No. 1652, January, 1912, caused the legislature in Chapter 85 of the Resolves of 1912 to appoint a three man commission to study water supply issues in most of the towns and cities of northeastern Massachusetts. In House Document No. 2200, the commission took a strong stand in favor of diversion. The prevailing sentiment was that water needed so badly for drinking should not be wasted in Ipswich Bay.

It was formed in 1988, in response to plans by Whitchurch Town Council to bring the canal back into the town, as a way of promoting tourism. History of the Arm The Whitchurch Arm was first authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1796, which also allowed the Ellesmere Canal Company to alter the route of its main line. The main line joined the Chester Canal at Hurleston Junction, and was opened throughout by 1805. ref harvnb Brown 2003 p 3 ref The canal company decided to abandon the planned arm to Whitchurch in 1800, but in 1805 was approached by a group of businessmen who wanted to build both the branch and a short extension to Castle Well, so that the terminus was nearer to the centre of the town. ref harvnb Brown 2003 p 4 ref The canal company decided that it did not have the powers to delegate construction of the arm to the consortium, and so completed the construction of the original route using money borrowed from the businessmen. It was opened on 6 July 1808. The Act of Parliament needed to authorise the extension was not applied for until 1809, ref harvnb Brown 2003 p 5 ref and the extra quarter mile 0.4 km of canal was opened ...

History The first efforts to restore the Montgomery Canal were made by the Shropshire Union Canal Society in 1968, when the section in Welshpool was restored. Further progress towards restoration was made in 1980, when the concept of a restored canal was written into the Shropshire and Powys County Structure Plan. Seven years later, British Waterways obtained an Act of Parliament to authorise the restoration. This was the first occurrence of such an Act being granted. With the need to co ordinate a number of authorities and manage applications for grants to fund the work, an umbrella organisation was needed, and so the Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust was created. ref harvnb Arnold 2003 pp 8 9 ref The Trust was formed in 1980 and its members include Inland Waterways Association Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust Powys County Council The Prince s Trust Shropshire Council Shropshire Union Canal Society Shropshire Wildlife Trust Waterway Recovery Group Friends of the Montgomery Canal is a less formal group, created by the Trust for people living in the canal corridor, which provides them with information and opportunities for involvement in various canal related activities. ref cit web url http www.montgomerycanal.me.uk mwrt.html title Friends of the Montgomery Canal publisher Pete s Montgomery Canal Website accessdate 2011 12 29 ref The Friends organises events ... site, incorporating the Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust Category Waterways organisations in England ... more details
