Welland Canal opened 150 years ago 1829 Linking the Great Lakes Confederation Life Collection In January . 1824 the legislature of Upper Canada inrxirporated U illiam Hamilton Merritt ' s Welland Canal Co.. to link Lake Ontario and Lake Erie for commercial shipping. Among the prominent {xtT ma who joined in raising the -UJ. ' XXJ pounds share capital was the Duke of Wellington. To this was added a grant of 16.(X)0 pounds from the BritUh government and some provincial flnancing. The first shovel was turned November 30. Five years later, on November 27. 1829, there was a grand opening ceremony. The . nnie and Jane of Upper Canada led the way. followed by the R.H. Broughton. of Youngstown. U..S.. . Overcoming a fall of . 25 feet in the Niagara River, the canal was designed to convey small craft from Lake Ontario to Port Robinson, about half way. and thence by way of the Uelland and Niagara Rivers to Lake Erie. Swift currents forced abandonment of the latter f ortion and the canal was extended acxrMS country in 183.3 to Gravelly Bay, now Port Colb jme. The government bought cr»ntrol after the Union of 1841 and gradually intrfxjuced improvements. The route ha been changed, locks reduced in number and increased in size. The Xelland Canal has proved in- creasingly valuable in the 2..3 ' X -mile waterway int j the heart of the continent. On this l.VJth Anniversary of the opening of the first Welland f nai we pay tribute to the vision of William Hamilu»n .Merritl. His ac- c jmplishmenLs have benefited all Canadians. Tfjday. as in the past, young men who ch ' K se a care»T in Canadian shipping find it interesting, challenging and rewarding. Upper Lakes Shipping Ltd.
