Brave men fought nature and the Great Depression and ventured into new engineering territory in order to create a safe passage that so many had tried and failed to construct. In 1909, excavation began on what would become one of the greatest success stories of our time. The evolution of the Cape Cod Canal into a major commerce and recreational route of the Intracoastal Waterway is a tale of determination, ingenuity, and the American spirit. The story of the canal unfolds through historical photographs and expert interviews
