Not many people know about the original 1717 canal in Orleans Ma
Nice thing about History Channel videos – not having to listen to anything in the metric system.
How do they charge for the electric in fare fee for a small boat?
I live in Cape Cod!
If they think this is a marvel then they should look at the tunnel to get onto the Cape!
Interestingly @ 32:55 Eastern Point lighthouse in Gloucester, Cape Ann is shown!
39:48 The people who do painting professionally who do not use drop-cloths and clean up their paint shavings really, really bother me!!
I am very blessed I live one minute from the canal ❤I love hearing the trains going by and listening to the Whistle the train bridge makes when it's coming down to let the trains over the canal. It's a blessing to be able to walk exercise run and enjoy nature on the canal walkway ❤it's a special part of the world. Very quiet in the winter if you love nature and peace it's a wonderful place to live in Bourne or Buzzards Bay Massachusetts❤ next to the canal very relaxing the sunsets are gorgeous❤ I always tell my friends my backyard is the Cape Cod Canal praise God❤
Aren’t the terms “ sinking” and “founder” kind of synonymous?
-asking for Google
that was a great watch really interesting, i live im falmouth amd learned alot from this video.
MMA (Mass Maritime Academy) is the gateway to the canal, never mentioned. I did a round trip bike ride on the Canal yesterday 8/13, started at Scusset and rode my bike to the railroad bridge, hopped off the trail and went to MMA road around the campus and then headed back to Scusset along the canal. over 14 miles round trip. Great scenery along the way. I actually had a job interview at MMA back in June, never got the job but great experience, great people I interviewed with.
Today 2024, no train goes over that bridge.. the RR tracks are walk paths.
