As two key pieces in the transportation industry, they served to connect the two states together and each boasted several unique qualities not found in any other canals of their time. However, after being closed down in the early 20th century, much of the rich history that surrounds them both has been largely forgotten and their achievements and accolades lost to the modern time.
