INTRODUCTION The St. Marys River forms the outlet of Lake Superior, connecting Whitefish Bay with Lake Huron through De Tour Passage. Lake Superior and the St. Marys River are both highly regulated. The Soo Locks bypass the St. Marys River Rapids and make navigation possible between Lakes Superior and Huron. 2. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS From its nominal head at Point Iroquois, the river flows in a general southeasterly direction through several channels covering a distance of from 101 km to 121 km (63 mi to 75 mi), depending on the route taken, with a total fall of about 6.7 m (22 ft). Approximately 6.1 m (20 ft) of this fall occur in the St. Marys Rapids, which are less than 1.5 km (1 mi) long and form a very short middle reach with distinct hydraulic characteristics. Altogether, there are three different hydraulic reaches in the St. -

FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS WIDENING AND DEEPENING BENDS IN THE ST. MARYS RIVER, MICHIGAN (PHASE III) Prepared by U. S. Army Engineer District Detroit, Michigan March 1974 STATEMENT OF FINDINGS GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS WIDENING AND DEEPENING BENDS IN ST. MARYS RIVER, MICHIGAN PHASE III SUPPLEMENT NO. 2 1. I have reviewed and evaluated, in light of the overall public interest, the documents concerning the proposed action, as well as the stated views of other interested agencies and the concerned public, relative to the proposed dredging project on the connect ing channel waterway of the St. Marys River. 2. The River and Harbor Act of 1956 (P.L. 434, 84th Congress) pro vided for a safe vessel draft of 25.5 feet for both upbound and downbound traffic with a least channel width of 300 feet. Authority for inclusion of design and construction of the bend widening projects for the St. Marys River into the existing Great Lakes Channels Authorization was granted by the Chief of Engineers on 12 December 1967, subject: Great Lakes Connecting Channels, Widening and Deepening Bends in the St. Marys and St. Clair Rivers. 3. The continued well-being of tire St. Marys River is a matter of great concern to a wide scope of interests, whether they be commer cial, conservational, or recreational. The needs of waterborne commerce in terms of the project were carefully and objectively weighed against the potential impacts on the environment as well as the valid objections of concerned individuals and organizations. All phases of the project have been and continue to be coordinated with the appropriate Federal, State and local agencies having perti nent responsibilities. -

The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

Local business leaders, represented by the Sudbury Board of Trade, sought to balance the needs of the agriculture and mining-smelting sectors and See table of contents facilitate their coexistence in the region. Among the measures pursued, farmers and some Board of Trade members turned to nuisance litigation, with the objective of obtaining monetary awards and injunctions affecting the Publisher(s) operation of the roast yards. While the amounts of the awards were disappointing for the farmers, the spectre of an injunction was sufficient to Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine convince the provincial government to ban civil litigation in favour of an arbitration process accommodating industry.
