Four Welland canals have crossed Southern Ontario's Niagara Peninsula since 1829, and each update fostered a renewed economic expansion. The most recent change came in 1959, when the new St. Lawrence Seaway system opened the canal and the Niagara Peninsula to the Atlantic Ocean.The Welland Canals and Their Communities is an in-depth examination of the history and influence of each canal. It traces the changes over time in engineering elements such as the canal route, its water supply and flow, and its form, including locks, weirs, bridges, and other structures that have successively modified both the landscape and drainage pattern of its regional surroundings. In addition to these marine elements, John N. Jackson looks at the movements of vessels, the changing types of ships that have used the canal, and the economic character of trading flows within and through the canal to provide a detailed portrait of the interaction between transportation and land use at both the local and regional level.The changing canal scene and the evolution, form, and character of the canal communities provide the dual emphasis of Jackson's narrative, which concludes with an appreciation of the canal system and its potential at a time when heritage and tourist concerns rise to the fore across the Niagara Peninsula. 606 $aCities and towns$zOntario$zWelland Canal Region$xHistory 606 $aUrbanization$zOntario$zWelland Canal Region$xHistory 607 $aWelland Canal (Ont.)$xHistory 607 $aWelland Canal Region (Ont.)$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory. 676 $a386.470971338 700 $aJackson$b John N.$034109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456427103321 996 $aThe Welland Canals and their communities$92466329 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00833nam a2200229 i 4500 001 991001472319707536 008 111110s2011 it 000 0 ita d 020 $a9788854131941 035 $ab14019966-39ule_inst 040 $aSet.
