Saint Lawrence Seaway

The Saint Lawrence Seaway is a system of waterways that enables large ships to travel between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes of North America. Opened in 1959, it includes a series of locks, channels, and dams that manage water levels and facilitate navigation. This seaway is vital for trade, allowing the transport of goods like grain, iron ore, and coal between Canada and the United States. It enhances economic ties, supports industries, and promotes shipping efficiency, making it a key component of North America's transportation infrastructure.
