Morris Canal
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Morris_Canal an entity of type: Thing
Der Morris Canal war ein Schifffahrtskanal in New Jersey in den Vereinigten Staaten, der von 1824 bis 1836 auf Initiative der Unternehmers George McCulloch aus Morristown gebaut wurde und bis 1924 in Betrieb war. Der Kanal wurde von der Morris Canal and Banking Company (MC&BC) betrieben und diente hauptsächlich dem Transport hochwertiger Anthrazitkohle vom Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania zu den Industriestandorten in Newark und New York City. Das Hauptmerkmal des Kanals war die Anwendung von 23 schiefen Ebenen zur Überwindung der großen Höhendifferenzen, weshalb er sowohl ein Denkmal im National Register of Historic Places ist, wie auch ein bedeutendes Ingenieurbauwerk auf der Liste der Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks.

Kanał Morris – otwarty 4 listopada 1831 łączył rzekę Delaware w okolicy i rzekę w centrum miasta Newark w New Jersey. Początkowo miał 90 mil długości, w 1836 przedłużono go do Jersey City (razem 109 mil). Kanał przechodził przez tereny górzyste i dużą część podroży barki odbywały torami. Kanał umożliwił transport towarów pomiędzy doliną Leigh w Pensylwanii a portami w mieście Nowy Jork. Przeżywał rozwój do czasu wybudowania kolei w latach sześćdziesiątych. Na początku XX wieku został porzucony. Formalnie przejęty przez stan New Jersey w 1922.

The Morris Canal (1829–1924) was a 107-mile (172 km) common carrier anthracite coal canal across northern New Jersey that connected the two industrial canals at Easton, Pennsylvania, across the Delaware River from its western terminus at Phillipsburg, New Jersey to New York Harbor and New York City via its eastern terminals in Newark and on the Hudson River in Jersey City. The canal was sometimes called the Morris and Essex Canal, in error, due to confusion with the nearby and unrelated Morris and Essex Railroad.

The Morris Canal (1829–1924) was a 107-mile (172 km) common carrier anthracite coal canal across northern New Jersey that connected the two industrial canals at Easton, Pennsylvania, across the Delaware River from its western terminus at Phillipsburg, New Jersey to New York Harbor and New York City via its eastern terminals in Newark and on the Hudson River in Jersey City. The canal was sometimes called the Morris and Essex Canal, in error, due to confusion with the nearby and unrelated Morris and Essex Railroad. With a total elevation change of more than 900 feet (270 m), the canal was considered an ingenious technological marvel for its use of water-driven inclined planes, the first in the United States, to cross the northern New Jersey hills. It was built primarily to move coal to industrializing eastern cities that had stripped their environs of wood. Completed to Newark in 1831, the canal was extended eastward to Jersey City between 1834 and 1836. In 1839, hot blast technology was married to blast furnaces fired entirely using anthracite, allowing the continuous high-volume production of plentiful anthracite pig iron. The Morris Canal eased the transportation of anthracite from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley to northern New Jersey's growing iron industry and other developing industries adopting steam power in New Jersey and the New York City area. It also carried minerals and iron ore westward to blast furnaces in western New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania (famously, Allentown and Bethlehem) until the development of Great Lakes iron ore caused the trade to decline. The Morris Canal remained in heavy use through the 1860s. But railroads had begun to eclipse canals in the United States, and in 1871, it was leased to the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Like many enterprises that depended on anthracite, the canal's revenues dried up with the rise of oil fuels and truck transport. It was taken over by the state of New Jersey in 1922, and formally abandoned in 1924. Although it was largely dismantled in the following five years, portions of the canal and its accompanying feeders and ponds are preserved. A statewide greenway for cyclists and pedestrians is planned, beginning in Phillipsburg, traversing Warren, Sussex, Morris, Passaic, Essex, and Hudson Counties and including the old route through Jersey City. The canal was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974, for its significance in engineering, industry, and transportation. The boundary was increased in 2016 to include the Lake Hopatcong station in Landing.
