Lehigh Canal
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Lehigh_Canal an entity of type: Thing
Der Lehigh Canal ist ein Binnenschifffahrtsweg, der gebaut wurde, um den Transport von Anthrazitkohle aus dem Lehigh Valley zu den Käufern im Nordosten zu bringen, insbesondere nach Philadelphia. Als man größere Vorkommen von Anthrazitkohle entdeckte, wurde die Lehigh Coal Mine Company gegründet, um die Kohle über den Lehigh River zum Delaware River und weiter über die Verbindung zum in Easton zu den Verbrauchern in Philadelphia zu bringen.

The Lehigh Canal, or the Lehigh Navigation Canal, is a navigable canal that begins at the mouth of Nesquehoning Creek on the Lehigh River in eastern Pennsylvania. It was built in two sections over a span of twenty years, beginning in 1818. The lower section spanned the distance between Easton and present-day Jim Thorpe. In Easton, the canal met the Delaware and Morris Canals, which allowed goods to be transported further up the U.S. East Coast. At its height, the Lehigh Canal was 72 miles (116 km) long.

The plan, says Josiah White, who was its originator, was to "improve the navigation of the river by contracting the channels funnel fashion, to bring the whole flow of water at each of the falls to as narrow a compass as the law would allow, by throwing up the round river stones into low walls not higher than we wanted to raise the water for the required depth of fifteen or eighteen inches by the natural flow, to make artificial freshets to supply the deficiency; that is, by making ponds of water of as many acres as we could get, and letting it off periodically, say once in three days. I supposed we could gather water enough to secure the required quantity, and thus secure a regular descending navigation. The plan for locks and gates for letting out the freshet in a proper manner was left for the present to be devised in due time if found necessary.

In Easton, the canal met the Delaware and Morris Canals, which allowed goods to be transported further up the U.S. East Coast. At its height, the Lehigh Canal was 72 miles (116 km) long. Although the canal was used to transport a variety of products, its most significant cargo was anthracite coal and pig iron, which proved cornerstones of the Lehigh Valley's ascent as a central hub for the American Industrial Revolution. Their mining and transport defined the character of the towns surrounding the canal. The route consisted initially of canals and dammed-off sections of the Lehigh River. Boatmen had to navigate barges periodically from the canal through a lock onto the river or vice versa. This design saved time and money and made the canal functional while it was being built, although it made for a slower, more difficult trip for canal-boat captains.
