In the Famous 1000 Islands (Year Round Availability & Access)
The Kelly Cottage In the Famous 1000 Islands (year round availability & access) Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane, Minutes to Kingston & Gananoque (near public Golf Courses & Charity Casino) 1 Welcome to Howe Island … or as the locals say, Welcome to ‘The Island’. Howe Island is a 31 km² island located in the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, Ontario, is part of the Thousand Islands chain and measures approximately 13 km X 5 km. Originally named Ka-ou-enesegoan by local Iroquois and later Isle Cauchois after its first French owners who took possession in 1685, it became known as Howe Island on July 16th, 1792 , supposedly named after George Augustus, Lord Howe. There is some evidence that it was once called St. John's. There is no evidence of any permanent inhabitation until 1810 by a man named William Casey. In the following four decades successive waves of settlers brought many of the island's long standing families who still live or own land there. The population currently numbers approximately 300 residents, although this figure doubles in the summer months when recreational properties are occupied. Two, year- round ferry services connect ‘The Island’ to the mainland. Main Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest Kingston 15 cars on demand; 24 hrs/day 7 days/week; year round East Island Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest to Gananoque 3 cars on demand; 7 days/week 6:00 am – 12:45 am *on demand = no scheduled times; simply arrive @ Ferry dock on either side for pickup. 2 Driving Directions to Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane From West Highway 401East to Exit 632 Joyceville turn right; cross Hwy 2; proceed to Howe Island Ferry dock.

LAWRENCE MARITIME TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Mike Piskur† ABSTRACT: The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Maritime Transportation System (“MTS”) bears critical importance to the economic competitiveness of Canada and the United States (“US”). Maritime transportation comprises both a major economic driver and job creator for both countries. As a cost-effective and highly efficient means of transporting raw materials and finished products to market, the MTS is essential to agricultural, mining, and manufacturing supply chains that frequently stretch across the US-Canada border and beyond. Yet management of the MTS is fragmented, with responsibility for various system components scattered across numerous federal agencies in both the US and Canada. This fragmentation results in a dearth of transparency, confusing and disjointed governmental authority, higher user costs, barriers to establishing new markets, and overall reduced system competitiveness.
