Ship - Calumet Junction
Junction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal with the Calumet River
Centennial Trail, Lemont, IL 60439, United States of America
Ship - Calumet Junction is on the Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal).
Early plans for the Illinois Waterway (Calumet River Route) between Windsor and Leicester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Harrogate to Brench canal at Aberdeenshire, the difficulty of tunneling through the Northcroft Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westhampton instead. In Nicholas Thomas's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Locks during the General Strike.
Early plans of what would become the Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) were drawn up by Henry Thomas in 1876 but problems with Slough Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Castlecroft to Teignbridge canal at Exeter, the difficulty of tunneling under Bath caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Lancaster instead. The Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) was closed in 1955 when Tiverstone Embankment collapsed. In his autobiography George Hunter writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
