WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1914.
HAPPY AFTER ,200 YEARS.
After having been discussed for 200
years, the Cape Cod canal is to he
opened this month and Cape Cod and
vicinity are preparing elaborate fes
tivities. The yacht of August Bel
mont, head of the canal company,
will be the firs* vessel to use the
canal.
Miles Standish first discussed the
plan in 1627. In 1676 a route was
examined. A hundred years later
Gen. Washington ordered the survey
of a canal route.
The Boston, Cape Cod and New
York company procured a charter
from the state of Massachusetts in
1899. Little progress was made un
til August Belmont acquired a con
trolling interest in 1906. Digging be
gan June 22, 1909, and $10,000,000 has
been spent.
The canal is about eight miles long
and runs straight from Buzzards Bay
to Sandwich. It is twenty-five deep
at low water. The minimum width
is 125 feet at the bottom and from
250 to 300 feet at the surface. There
are no locks at eithe rentrance.
Formerly tide-locks were consider
ed necessary because the tide on the
Buzzards Bay side rises eight or nine
feet, while on the Massachusetts bay
side the average rise is from four
to five. In this respect there is al
most a counterpart of the conditions
at Panama. There is also a simi
larit yin that the tdes do not agree,
rising and falling at different hours,
so that there will be a current
through the canal most of the time,
hut this current will not be strong
enough to interfere with navigation
or to affect the' channel injuriously.
The canal will shorten the route
from New York to Boston by 70
miles. The chief gain is in avoiding
Cape Cod weather. Next to Cape
Hatteras this is the most dangerous
part of the coast.
The builders are assured of suffi
cient patronage to warrant a return
on their investment. And old Cape
Cod is happy at last.—Ex.
