Opened in 1959 to world-wide commercial vessel traffi c, the Seaway quickly became a lifeline between North American inland ports and the rest of the world. Each year, millions of dollars in commerce are shipped along the waterway and billions of dollars are contributed to the North American economy. Between March and December 2011, more than 2,700 transits were made by ships between Montreal and Lake Ontario. “Salties,” a reference to ocean-going ships, make their way up and down the Seaway each year from countries such as Germany, Netherlands, Barbados and more --bringing rum, windmill parts, steel and other products to Great Lake ports. In addition to the foreign vessels, a large amount of port-to-port commerce is done by US and Canadian shipping companies. Commonly seen ships in the region include those of the Canada Steamship Lines and Algoma Corporation fl eets. Be sure to take a moment to stop along the river’s edge to catch a glimpse of these massive 700-foot freighters as they snake their way through the maze of islands that dot their route. Park your vehicle at the 1000 Islands Welcome Center at the base of the Thousand Islands Bridge and get out for a stroll up the bridge to its highest peak where you can enjoy gazing onto the deck of one of these ships. Clayton (NY) and Brockville and Prescott (ON) have public viewing locations as well. If you wish to get really close to a freighter, board a local tour boat and take a chance of cruising side-by-side with one of the steel hulled mammoths.
