Snubbin’ Through the Canals. 
Concluded from page 385. 
At Bordentown one is offered another canal 
route, which leads to picturesque scenes. Strike 
south on the Delaware and take the inside 
route to Norfolk, or if strictly canal snubbin’ 
is desired, a trip of about ten miles down the 
river brings one to the Lehigh Canal, which 
was built in 1827 by the State of Pennsylvania, 
completed in 1830 as far as New Hope, and 
subsequently extended to Easton, where it con¬ 
nects with the Lehigh River. Formerly thou¬ 
sands of coal-carrying boats navigated the 
canal, but to-day there are comparatively few. 
For $3 for locking tolls a motor boat under 
forty feet can navigate this canal to its end, and 
pass through where General Washington as¬ 
sembled his hardy troops on that memorable 
Christmas night to cross the Delaware, and 
many other points of special historical interest. 
•All the way to Easton the canal is picturesque, 
and from there to the coal regions through the 
Lehigh Valley is unsurpassed for beauty and 
grandeur of scenery in this country. 
The canals on the way south appeal to the 
ovvners of motor boats who wish to make long 
trips to warmer climes. During the Jamestown 
Exhibition hundreds made the trip from New 
York to Norfolk, passing through the Delaware 
and Raritan canals, and thence through the 
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal to Back Creek 
on the Chesapeake River. This latter canal is 
one of the shortest in the East, extending only 
fourteen miles from one river to the other. The 
two canals give entrance to the Delaware and 
Chesapeake bays, via the rivers of the same 
name, and opens up extensive bodies of fine 
sailing water. 
But the trip does not end here—not to the 
adventurous souls looking for new regions. 
From Norfolk there is an inside canal and river 
route to Albemarle and Pamlico sounds as far 
south as Beaufort. To reach the latter place, 
take the Elizabeth River back of Norfolk, 
thence to Deep Creek into the Dismal Swamp 
Canal—recently dredged out and widened—and 
then down the Pasquotank River into Albemarle 
Sound, which is long, shallow and full of fish, 
and after navigating it, the route leads through 
Croatan, Roanoke, Pamlico, Core and Back 
sounds to Beaufort Inlet. 
From this point, if one wishes to continue the 
trip south, the outside route must be taken to 
Charleston. From this city to the mouth of the 
St. John’s River in Florida, there is an inside 
route which follows river, lagoon, creek and 
canal through regions seldom explored by 
yachtsmen. From New York to Beaufort by 
the inside route the distance is about 530 miles, 
most of it on canal and river. From Beaufort 
to St. John s River on the outsidk route the 
distance is 400 miles, and to the Mosquito Inlet, 
where one strikes the first of those series of
