With the completion of the Welland Canal in 1932, the first major step toward the construction of a deep waterway from Lake Erie to Montreal, Canada, was realized. The canal connects Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, a difference in elevation of 326.5 ft. A 25-ft-deep channel and eight locks are provided to accommodate vessels to as much as 735 ft long so that navigation can bypass Niagara Falls. The additional deepening of the Welland Ship Canal to the standards of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority was undertaken under the jurisdiction of the Authority in 1955.
