CRAP !!

That would be the Welland Canal .

A feat ascribed to St Catharines businessman William Merritt, the Welland Canal was first opened in 1829 with a depth of under 2.5m (8ft). It has been improved and enlarged numerous times since then and now has depth of 8.2m (27ft). It was included as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, and consists of eight locks (one lift and one guard). It is a navigational canal of 43.5km (27 miles) in length, and manages to overcome a height difference of around 100m (328ft) between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
