| Notes
| Plaque near Miller's Creek along the Niagara Parkway: The Welland Canal at the Niagara Frontier. The passage of the first two vessels form lake to lake was achieved in 1829. After “stemming the broad and strong current of Niagara”, the vessels reached Black Rock where they were met with bursts of applause and honoured by the discharge of artillery from The Terrace. As stated in the biography of William Hamilton Merritt, the canal's founder, “The Welland Canal was now an accomplished fact. The artificial wedding of the Great Lakes of the west and north with the waters of the Ontario, and eventually with the St. Lawrence and the ocean was complete” |
