This document presents some conclusions from a study by the Research and Traffic Group for the Marine Office of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation on the commercial attractiveness and priorities for policy development of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system. The document gives background information on the use of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River as a major shipping route; the amount of shipping using the route and the costs involved, including the amount and worth of various commodities; the competitiveness of this route in comparison with the Mississippi River, the railway to the West Coast, direct rail for eastbound grain, water/rail transport of iron ore, and the user pay dilemma; and some methods of enhancing the competitiveness of the St. Lawrence Seaway, including an extended season, an improvement in technology and operations, relaxing coastal trade restrictions, introducing container services, increasing truck/water services, adjusting grain institutions, and establishing policy priorities.
I'm a fish. Not a drinker but a Pisces. And I love the water. Fortunately, I was born and raised in the Great Lakes state of Michigan. And I've sailed on those magnificent water bodies: across Lake Michigan at night; on Lake Huron in the Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat regatta, including on the tall ship Schooner America and fast, fast trimaran Earth Voyager; on Pride of Baltimore II on Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence Seaway, including through the Welland Canal; on Lake Huron's North Channel, "the Mediterranean of the Great Lakes." I've written about the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, the major Great Lakes regattas, and the Chicago NOODs. And it's all been fun! Come, experience these tales, and swim with me.

The Great Lakes Seaway Trail runs along the southern & eastern shore of Lake Ontario, as well as along the St. Lawrence River. The trail is as rich in history as it is in scenery. Many battles during the War of 1812 were fought on this shore. Islands in the river have disappeared after horrific murders and mysterious men tried to hide from their indiscretions among them. Along the Seaway Trail, a house was built for Napoleon Bonaparte before he died in exile. And spirits of soldiers remain stationed their post.
