Rivers of Change, Waters of Opportunity The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System is the world’s longest deep-draft waterway, stretching 2,300 miles from the western end of Lake Superior to the Atlantic Ocean. Each year, this engineering marvel moves more than 200 million tons of cargo to ports near and far, touching millions of lives—including yours.

“Rivers, together with mountains and deserts, have been long considered as natural barriers which make excellent national frontiers because they divide people from one another …

… It is no longer the case as far as the St. Lawrence River is concerned. More and more, this great waterway has become a bond rather than a barrier between Americans and Canadians.”

Prime Minister of Canada Louis St. Laurent, official inauguration of the St. Lawrence Seaway construction project, 1954

Shipping Shortcut The 1959 opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway to deep draft navigation allowed the direct shipment of goods from mid-North America to any port in the world. The Seaway’s new canals, channels, and locks replaced an outdated, late 19th-century waterway on the St. Lawrence River. This was a game changer for shipping speed, efficiency, and profitability.

Fixing an Outdated System Before the Seaway, the waterway wasn’t wide or deep enough to accommodate large cargo ships. Smaller ships had to unload in Buffalo or Toronto and move cargo by barges or trains to Montreal or other eastern ports, where they were reloaded on larger ships bound for world markets. This inefficient system cost time and money.

A new era in marine transportation dawned with the 1959 completion of the 189-mile stretch of the St. Lawrence Seaway between Montreal and Lake Ontario.

Recognized as one of the most challenging engineering feats in history, seven locks were built, five Canadian and two U.S., in order to lift vessels 246 feet above sea level as they travel from Montreal to Lake Ontario.

Combined with the eight Canadian locks of the Welland Canal, which link Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, the St. Lawrence Seaway’s 15 locks allow ships to travel between Montreal and Lake Erie, a difference in elevation of 551 feet. The Soo Locks, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, enable ships to reach Lake Superior, which is 600 feet above sea level.

The immense size and reach of the inland marine superhighway known as the Great Lakes Seaway System touch every aspect of modern life:

North America’s Heartland to the World

Socially:

The Seaway System is the safest, most cost efficient, and environmentally responsible shipping route in mid-America—with fewer emissions and greater fuel efficiency than rail or trucks.

Politically:

The waterway is an example of the spirit of cooperation between the United States and Canada, who built the St. Lawrence Seaway section in partnership and continue to operate and administer it together.

Geographically:

The waterway allows ocean-going vessels to sail 2,300 miles into North America’s interior, from the Atlantic Ocean to the western tip of Lake Superior. This distance is as long as the Atlantic Ocean is wide.

Economically:

Each year, 200 million tons of cargo moving on the waterway supports more than $35 billion in economic activity and 237,000 jobs in the U.S. and Canada.

NATIONAL INTEREST

Larger Ships Meet Increasing Demands Before Seaway expansion, only ships of less than eight feet draft* could sail the entire waterway. These ships couldn’t move cargo quickly enough to keep up with demands.

After Seaway completion, ships nearly four times as large can travel its waters.

*Draft is the distance between the waterline and the bottom of the boat.

1.6 Map of the Seaway1.7 Before the Seaway

In a time before railroads and highways, explorers and fur traders sailed these waters.

Settlements sprang up along shores and trading posts grew into towns.

French priest Dollier de Casson begins building a 5-foot-deep canal to bypass the Lachine Rapids between Lake St. Louis and Montreal

The four small canals on the north shore of the St. Lawrence to connect Lake St. Louis to Lake St. Francis are completed by the Royal Army Engineers. Only 2.5 feet deep, they have a total of five locks, each six feet wide—the first ever built on the St. Lawrence, and possibly in North America.

Canal opens at Cornwall

The first joint U.S.-Canadian Deep Waterways Commission is formed to study the feasibility of the Seaway. It is followed by an International Joint Commission in 1909, but the Seaway remains a dream.

The Casson Canal (now known as the Lachine Canal) links Montreal with Lake St. Louis. At the time it was five feet deep and had seven locks.

The first Welland Canal is completed. Built by the Welland Canal Company, it is 27 miles long, with 40 wooden locks.

Dollier de Casson

The region’s rapids, waterfalls, and elevation changes posed grave dangers to travelers.

Soon after European settlers arrived, efforts began to tame the Niagara, St. Lawrence, and St. Marys rivers.

Public interest in a deeper waterway on the St. Lawrence River and increased trade pressures lead to a joint Canadian - U.S. Deep Waterways Commission to again study the feasibility of what will eventually become the St. Lawrence Seaway.

1951The St. Lawrence Seaway Authority Act and the International Rapids Power Development Act allow Canadians to begin work on the Canadian side of the river from Montreal to Lake Ontario, as well as in the Welland Canal.

Fourth Welland Canal completed: 27 miles long, 25 feet minimum depth.

Eight locks raise ships a total of 326 feet.

This was the first step in the completion of the modern Seaway. Canada and the U.S. sign the Great Lakes-St.

Lawrence Deep Waterway Treaty, but no action is taken.

Canal opens at Beauharnois

Geographically: The waterway allows ocean-going vessels to sail 2,300 miles into North America’s interior, from the Atlantic Ocean to the western tip of Lake Superior. This distance is as long as the Atlantic Ocean is wide.

Economically: Each year, 200 million tons of cargo moving on the waterway supports more than $35 billion in economic activity and 237,000 jobs in the U.S. and Canada.

Socially: The Seaway System is the safest, most cost efficient, and environmentally responsible shipping route in mid-America—with fewer emissions and greater fuel efficiency than rail or trucks.

Politically: The waterway is an example of the spirit of cooperation between the United States and Canada, who built the St. Lawrence Seaway section in partnership and continue to operate and administer it together.

The immense size and reach of the inland marine superhighway known as the Great Lakes Seaway System touch every aspect of modern life:

The St. Lawrence Seaway Authority is established by Canada, to acquire lands for, construct, operate, and maintain a deep draft waterway between the port of Montreal and Lake Erie.

The U.S. joins Canada on the development of the St. Lawrence Seaway with the passage of the Wiley-Dondero Act on May 13, 1954. The U.S. St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) is also created. Agreement is reached between the U.S.

and Canada concerning the construction of the Seaway. The cost of the navigation project is projected at $470.3 million, of which Canada paid $336.5 million and the U.S. $133.8 million.

Massena BOOMSMassena BOOMS Seaway construction brought 22,000 workers to the area. By 1955, population had nearly doubled within a matter of months.

Workers and their families needed places to live, shop, and play. New housing was built by Seaway contractors and offered to engineers at reduced cost.

Most workers rented rooms in private homes or local motels, boarding houses, and apartments. It seemed like any local with an attic or extra room hung a “for rent” sign in the window.

Workers had money and wanted to spend their hard-earned dollars in town. Once quiet streets filled with traffic. New stores, dancing halls, and taverns packed in crowds of shift workers, 24-7.

Before Seaway construction, the region was one of the most underdeveloped in the state. After the Seaway and Power Project opened, the area set records in income, employment, savings, and consumer spending.
