Waterways march of time --; Rivers, rivers everywhere --; Landmarks across the nation. --; Canals, locks & passegeways --; Waterways & landmarks in popular culture.
Summary:
Tens of thousands of rivers that flow through the nation made their mark on history from the outset. In places where rivers didn't reach, man would dig connectors and sometimes waterways of their own. And where there were physical barriers like natural falls, they would be bypassed with canals at first and later locks and dams. From the earliest vessels to ocean liners, life on and aruond the water is part of our culture.
