About this book
Most of this 1890 survey of waterways and water transport across the world by J. Stephen Jeans deals with canals. Jeans, author also of England's Supremacy and Railway Problems, leaves railways and open-sea navigation aside and keeps to canals built for navigation. The introduction sorts them by purpose: some link oceans or seas, as at Suez, Panama and Nicaragua; some carry seagoing traffic to inland Manchester or St. Petersburg; others connect rivers and lakes, as the Grand Canal of China, the Erie and the Welland do. The chapters also follow canal building back into its ancient history.
