The Seaway Saga

Winter 1996 | Volume 11 |  Issue 3

What a great article by Daniel J. McConville (“Seaway to Nowhere,” Fall 1995). My husband and I marveled through the entire story, wondering why all that work hadn’t reached the consciousness of our family in the 1950s. Both of us thought the Seaway had been completed several decades earlier. We could scarcely believe that America had so shortchanged its cooperation with Canada. And the part on the problems encountered with the glacial till was dumbfounding. No wonder the author is now a journalist: Writing about such troubles must be easier than actually physically struggling through them daily.
