Improvement of Navigation In Relation to Flood Control
“And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.” This passage from Genesis is the earliest record that the writer finds of the relationship of flood s and navigation. In the modern parallel that occurred in April, 1927, Noah's one ark had increased to a hundred, freely and instantly made available by the Army, the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Lighthouse Bureau, and the various commercial boat lines. In place of the dove, fortunately, the seaplane and the radio were available. And the outcome proved anew, if proof were needed, that these boats cannot be spared from the rivers.
