DEVELOPMENT OF THE SHIP CHANNEL BETWEEN MONTREAL AND DEEP SEA

The dredged channel of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Ile aux Coudres forms part of one of the largest inland navigation systems in the world. From the Gulf, ships can travel almost 2000 miles to the head of the Lakes. The various stages of development of the channel to obtain a controlling depth of 25 ft between Montreal and Quebec City and a sufficient depth for a draft of 48 ft--with the aid of the tide--from Quebec City eastward are discussed in this paper.
