The Middlesex Canal (1803-1853), dug by hand from the Merrimack River at Chelmsford to the Charles River at Charlestown during the second term of George Washington’s presidency, played a major role in the development of Boston. Boats were drawn by horse to the Charles River. There they were pulled by chain across the Charles River and down Mill Creek, which bisected the city, to the long wharfs of the Boston Harbor.
Written and narrated by David Dettinger, author of the definitive study of the Canal extension in Boston from 1810 - 1830.
