Question

Which of these describes the Erie canal

Answer 1

The Erie Canal is famous in story and song. It is also know as Body of water. The Erie Canal is a canal in New York that is part of the east-west, cross-state route of the New York State Canal System. It originally ran from 363 miles from Albany, on the Hudson River, to Buffalo, at Lake Erie.

Answer 2

The eerie canal was built between 1817 and 1825 and stretches from Albany to Buffalo. It is the largest artificial waterway in North America. It turned New York City into a principal seaport. Originally it was four feet deep and forty feet wide. The project engineers didn't have much experience in canal building and most of the laborers were Irish migrants. After the canal was completed freight rates between Albany and buffalo fell by ninety percent and the travel time reduced to five days
