Harbors: Harbors On Lakes Erie and Ontario
The title of this paper would apply to all harbors, whether natural or artificial, on both shores of Lakes Erie and Ontario, but it is intended to limit it to those harbors in the United States which are or have been under improvement by the General Government. It would be impossible to discuss in an intelligible way the progress which has been made in the last ten years in the improvement of harbors on these Lakes without first giving some consideration to the history of the harbors and the region which they serve; without offering some reasons why they were originally selected for improvement; and why the particular materials and methods which have been used for their betterment were selected. None of these harbors were originally planned to meet conditions at all comparable with those now existing. No one at that early time could have fore. seen or imagined the enormous growth and development which has come to many of them, or the vast changes which have taken place in the means and methods of carrying on the commerce of the Lakes.
