The Delaware River from Philadelphia to the Sea
The Delaware River has its origin in a small lake in Southeastern New York. It flows in a general southerly direction, emptying into Delaware Bay, an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean, the entrance to which is marked by Cape Henlopen on the west and Cape May, the southern end of the New Jersey promontory, on the east. The upper reaches of the river have the usual characteristics of a mountain stream. Its middle section is less torrential, but is broken by reefs and rock ridges which, with its shallow depths, render it unfit for navigation except for small boats in the quiet pools between the rapids. At Trenton, N. J., the river begins its long meander as a tidal stream through the low coastal plain bordering the ocean. From Philadelphia, Pa., to the sea, the section with which this paper is concerned, it is a stream of varying depths, increasing in width from 5000 ft. just below the Schuylkill River near Philadelphia, to approximately 4 miles where it enters the Bay.
