This section upstream of the Seaway is not a continuous canal; rather, it consists of several stretches of navigable channels within the river, a number of locks, and canals along the banks of the St. Lawrence River to bypass several rapids and dams along the way. A number of the locks are managed by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation in Canada, and others in the United States by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation; the two bodies together advertise the Seaway as part of "Highway H2O". The section of the river downstream of Montreal, which is fully within Canadian jurisdiction, is regulated by the offices of Transport Canada in the Port of Quebec.
St Lawrence is thought to have been born in Huesca, a town in the Aragon region that was once part of the Roman province of Hispania Tarraconensis. Here he encountered the future Pope Sixtus II, who was of Greek origin, one of the most famous and highly esteemed teachers in Caesaraugusta (today Zaragoza), which was one of the empire's most renowned centres of learning. Eventually, both left Spain for Rome. When Sixtus became the Pope in 257, he ordained St Lawrence as a deacon, and though still young appointed him first among the seven deacons who served in the patriarchal church. He is therefore called "archdeacon of Rome", a position of great trust that included the care of the treasury and riches of the church and the distribution of alms among the poor.
St. Lawrence is a neighbourhood located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The area, a former industrial area, is bounded by Yonge, Front, and Parliament Streets, and the Canadian National railway embankment. The Esplanade off Yonge St., lined with restaurants, cafés and hotels runs through the middle of the area. In previous times, the area was sometimes referred to as 'St. Lawrence Ward' or more often today as 'St. Lawrence Market', synonymous with the large retail vendor market which is the neighbourhood's focal point. The area is the site of a large city-sponsored housing project of the 1970s, which revitalized an old 'brownfields' area. The boundaries of the St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association and the St Lawrence Market BIA are somewhat larger than those noted above. Both groups have boundaries that extend from Yonge to Parliament Streets and Queen Street East to the rail corridor.
History
The town of York was founded in 1793, on a site of ten blocks north of Front Street between George and Berkeley Streets. The area of today's St. Lawrence neighbourhood was then below the waterline, the shoreline being just south of Front Street. The area was infilled to provide more land for port and industrial uses adjacent. St. Lawrence was the first industrial area of York.

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Shipping System
The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System is a 2,340 mile “marine highway” that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. This integrated navigation system serves mariners, farmers, factory workers, and commercial interests from the western prairies to the eastern seaboard. Today, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System serves as a Key Supply Chain for the world’s 3rd largest economy. Visit greatlakesseaway.org/our-system/ to learn more!

Highway H2O - The Great Lakes-St Lawrence Seaway
The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway stretches some 3,700kms from Anticosti island at the gulf of the St. Lawrence to the westernmost port of Duluth, Minnesota on Lake Superior. Before the seaway, ships sailing around the great lakes were stuck at either end of the impassable Niagara River due to the falls – for cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago – something had to be done.
The St. Lawrence Seaway, on its completion in 1959, was one of the most impressive and complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken – not to mention by two countries at once! Today, the seaway brings ocean-going traffic to ports on lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior, and Michigan – and brings the products from these communities to markets around the world.

St. Lawrence Seaway and Eisenhower Locks, Massena, New York
Hundreds of ships from around the world travel the St. Lawrence Seaway. You’ll see all kinds of ships, from massive Lakers – ships that only travel the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River – to cruise ships and everything in between. The St. Lawrence Seaway is a system of locks, canals, and channels that permit Lakers and ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The seaway opened in 1959. The Snell and Eisenhower locks are located in Massena, New York. From the Visitors Center, observers can watch as ships navigate the locks. The locks lift the ships from the lower level down by the International Bridge to above Eisenhower Lock, a total lift of over 90 feet.

ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY
(11 Nov 1957) The St. Lawrence Seaway is indeed a mighty project, not only a scheme for navigation to the Great Lakes, but a great Power project as well. The Long Sault dam, which is on United States territory, is a vital part of the power scheme on the International Rapids section of the river. The Province of Ontario and the State of New York will eventually share the responsibility for over two million horse power of electric energy.

Sea footage, old artist rendering of boats on the sea and how all cities had access to the sea. The landlocked great lakes. St. Lawrence River is featured. The flowing water, the obstacles, the rapids (:29-2:17). Men discuss a system of canals and locks(2:17-2:48). Walter Cronkite is shown and he talks about how things are being done on the St. Lawrence Seaway and power project. He explains how the Canadian government created a series of canals to connect the Atlantic Ocean to the great lakes. Giant ships in the canals. Cronkite explains what they can do to get giant vessels through (2:48-5:13). Ship enters a lock, workers get in position, gates are closed, water is pumped in, levels are made, ship can then go on its way. They explain how to move a ship from Montreal to the great lakes. Construction of a lock is shown. Excavation of rocks. River bed is made deeper. The map is shown. Ship canal carved out (5:13-8:59). Cronkite continues on. Larger locks, rapid troubles. Workers blast stone and work. Lots of construction footage (9:00-11:22). Water flows, mighty long sioux rapids, construction of second largest power dam. Largest copper dam. Concrete is made, a tunnel helps get workers through without disrupting the flow of water. Four million tons of concrete (11:22-14:33). Cronkite is featured again, he explains the two stages to making the dam/new canal (14:34-16:15). Earth that is being excavated, a system of dikes are being created. Iroquois, Canada is shown, they will have flooding due to construction so houses are being moved. Trees are cut down, roads moved, power lines built (16:16-18:38). Construction of the locks. Marine clay had to be removed. Glacial till also had to be removed. Winter caused till and clay even harder to remove. AFter a couple years, the locks began to take shape. Cronkite shows a detailed map with models, of what is being done (18:39-21:17). More rock/earth is being moved. The work is still being done and they are moving far towards the great lakes. Work on a new dam is shown (21:18-22:55). In order to bypass the dam, the last of seven locks is under construction. Obstacles are still in the way. Construction continues (22:56-24:29). A map of the excavated material is shown, more work with ships and cranes continues. Cronkite explains that the St. Lawrence Seaway and power project will be done in 1959. Farmers and steel works look forward to this. More tonnage than the Panama Canal will be moved through this (24:29-26:51). Hydroelectric power is discussed, Nova Scotia is shown. A new and eight sea is a sea of opportunity (26:52-27:47). The end credit is shown (27:48-27:58).

Hundreds of ships from around the world travel the St. Lawrence Seaway. You’ll see all kinds of ships, from massive Lakers – ships that only travel the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River – to cruise ships and everything in between. The St. Lawrence Seaway is a system of locks, canals, and channels that permit Lakers and ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The seaway opened in 1959. The Snell and Eisenhower locks are located in Massena, New York. From the Visitors Center, observers can watch as ships navigate the locks. The locks lift the ships from the lower level down by the International Bridge to above Eisenhower Lock, a total lift of over 90 feet.
International rapids existed before the Seaway was constructed. Ships carry a wide variety of cargos from and to around the world.
During the summer, you can observe the ships going through the locks from the Seaway Visitor’s Center observation deck.

The Saint Lawrence Seaway (French: la Voie Maritime du Saint-Laurent) is a system of locks, canals, and channels in Canada and the United States that permits oceangoing vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes of North America, as far inland as Duluth, Minnesota at the western end of Lake Superior. The seaway is named for the Saint Lawrence River, which flows from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean. Legally, the seaway extends from Montreal, Quebec, to Lake Erie and includes the Welland Canal.
The Saint Lawrence River portion of the seaway is not a continuous canal; rather, it consists of several stretches of navigable channels within the river, a number of locks, and canals along the banks of the Saint Lawrence River to bypass several rapids and dams.

The seaway is named for the Saint Lawrence River, which flows from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean. Legally, the seaway extends from Montreal, Quebec, to Lake Erie and includes the Welland Canal.
The Saint Lawrence River portion of the seaway is not a continuous canal; rather, it consists of several stretches of navigable channels within the river, a number of locks, and canals along the banks of the Saint Lawrence River to bypass several rapids and dams. A number of the locks are managed by the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation in Canada, and others in the United States by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation; the two bodies together advertise the seaway as part of "Highway H2O".[1] The section of the river from Montreal to the Atlantic is under Canadian jurisdiction, regulated by the offices of Transport Canada in the Port of Quebec.

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System is a 2,340 mile “marine highway” that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. This integrated navigation system serves mariners, farmers, factory workers, and commercial interests from the western prairies to the eastern seaboard. Today, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System serves as a Key Supply Chain for the world’s 3rd largest economy. Visit greatlakesseaway.org/our-system/ to learn more!
The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway stretches some 3,700kms from Anticosti island at the gulf of the St. Lawrence to the westernmost port of Duluth, Minnesota on Lake Superior. Before the seaway, ships sailing around the great lakes were stuck at either end of the impassable Niagara River due to the falls – for cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago – something had to be done.
The St. Lawrence Seaway, on its completion in 1959, was one of the most impressive and complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken – not to mention by two countries at once! Today, the seaway brings ocean-going traffic to ports on lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior, and Michigan – and brings the products from these communities to markets around the world.
Come with us on an adventure along the seaway – and discover what the Highway H20 is all about!

This color educational film is about 'The Eight Sea ', the St. Lawrence Seaway. It was produced in 1958.
Caterpillar Tractor Co. presents The Eight Sea credits. Produced in cooperation with the St Lawrence Seaway Development Corp (:06-:29). Sea footage, old artist rendering of boats on the sea and how all cities had access to the sea. The landlocked great lakes. St. Lawrence River is featured. The flowing water, the obstacles, the rapids (:29-2:17). Men discuss a system of canals and locks(2:17-2:48). Walter Cronkite is shown and he talks about how things are being done on the St. Lawrence Seaway and power project. He explains how the Canadian government created a series of canals to connect the Atlantic Ocean to the great lakes. Giant ships in the canals. Cronkite explains what they can do to get giant vessels through (2:48-5:13). Ship enters a lock, workers get in position, gates are closed, water is pumped in, levels are made, ship can then go on its way. They explain how to move a ship from Montreal to the great lakes. Construction of a lock is shown. Excavation of rocks. River bed is made deeper. The map is shown. Ship canal carved out (5:13-8:59). Cronkite continues on. Larger locks, rapid troubles. Workers blast stone and work. Lots of construction footage (9:00-11:22). Water flows, mighty long sioux rapids, construction of second largest power dam. Largest copper dam. Concrete is made, a tunnel helps get workers through without disrupting the flow of water. Four million tons of concrete (11:22-14:33). Cronkite is featured again, he explains the two stages to making the dam/new canal (14:34-16:15). Earth that is being excavated, a system of dikes are being created. Iroquois, Canada is shown, they will have flooding due to construction so houses are being moved. Trees are cut down, roads moved, power lines built (16:16-18:38). Construction of the locks. Marine clay had to be removed. Glacial till also had to be removed. Winter caused till and clay even harder to remove. AFter a couple years, the locks began to take shape.

Hundreds of ships from around the world travel the St. Lawrence Seaway. You’ll see all kinds of ships, from massive Lakers – ships that only travel the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River – to cruise ships and everything in between. The St. Lawrence Seaway is a system of locks, canals, and channels that permit Lakers and ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The seaway opened in 1959. The Snell and Eisenhower locks are located in Massena, New York. From the Visitors Center, observers can watch as ships navigate the locks. The locks lift the ships from the lower level down by the International Bridge to above Eisenhower Lock, a total lift of over 90 feet.
International rapids existed before the Seaway was constructed. Ships carry a wide variety of cargos from and to around the world.
During the summer, you can observe the ships going through the locks from the Seaway Visitor’s Center observation deck.

(11 Nov 1957) The St. Lawrence Seaway is indeed a mighty project, not only a scheme for navigation to the Great Lakes, but a great Power project as well. The Long Sault dam, which is on United States territory, is a vital part of the power scheme on the International Rapids section of the river. The Province of Ontario and the State of New York will eventually share the responsibility for over two million horse power of electric energy.

This section upstream of the Seaway is not a continuous canal; rather, it consists of several stretches of navigable channels within the river, a number of locks, and canals along the banks of the St. Lawrence River to bypass several rapids and dams along the way. A number of the locks are managed by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation in Canada, and others in the United States by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation; the two bodies together advertise the Seaway as part of "Highway H2O". The section of the river downstream of Montreal, which is fully within Canadian jurisdiction, is regulated by the offices of Transport Canada in the Port of Quebec.
