| Description: | St. Lawrence Seaway Opens The St. Lawrence Seaway is opened to shipping. Ice breakers lead first flotilla. Construction of the seaway took five years, and it is the most extensive waterway cut since the Panama Canal: over 2,000 miles inland to salt water shipping. Quite a ditch to be proud of. Crowds line the edges of the canal. Aerials of canal with a few ships in it. | |
