This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: Fort Niagara, whose large central stone castle, built in 1726, still remains, passed from the French under Pouchot, to the British under Sir William Johnson; a great flotilla of canoes conveying the Indian warriors under Ligneris to the aid of the Fort, had come down from the Upper Lakes, to the Niagara River, but upon it being proved to them that they were too late, for the Fort had fallen, they re-entered their canoes and re-traced their way up the rivers back to their Western homes. ...In this same year H.R.H. the Duke of Kent [afterwards father of Her Majesty Queen Victoria] is reported as having proceeded from Kingston up Lake Ontario to Navy Hall on the Niagara River in the Kings ship Mohawk commanded by Commodore Bouchette. ...These vessels seem to have sailed somewhat intermittently, but regular connection on every other day with the Niagara River was established by The Duke of Richmond packet, a sloop of one hundred tons built at York in 1820, under Commander Edward Oates. ...No name is given of the steamer, nor the date of the launch, but this item has been considered to have referred to the steamer named Ontario, built at Sacketts Harbor and in consequence of its having apparently been launched first, precedence has been claimed for the United States vessel. ...Further information of the American steamer is given in an application for incorporation of the Lake Ontario Steam Boat Co. made in December, 1816, by Charles Smyth and others, of Sacketts Harbor, who stated in their petition that they had lately constructed a steam boat at Sacketts Harbor?the Navy Department of the United States have generously delivered a sufficiency of timber for the construction of the vessel for a reasonable sum of money?the boat is now built?the cost so far exceeds the means which mercantile men can generally command that they are unable to build any further?the English in the Province of Upper Canada have constructed a steam boat of seven hundred tons burthen avowedly for the purpose of engrossing the business on both sides of the lake.

Download or read book Port Dalhousie: An Intimate History written by Christine Aloian-Robertson and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2020-07-11 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Port Dalhousie started out as a farming and fishing settlement at the mouth of Twelve Mile Creek at what would become the northern terminus of the First Welland Canal. Throughout the 19th century, it prospered and grew into a village and then a town, but fell into a gradual decline due to: the opening of the Fourth Welland Canal in Port Weller three miles to the east in 1932; the end of passenger ship service in 1950; and the closing of the popular Lakeside Park in 1971. In 1961 it was incorporated into the City of St. Catharines and, in 1974, woke up to a resurgence of pride in a community that discovered its incredible history. Many of those residents who had lived through the earliest of these times, were still alive when the interviews herein were first being recorded. Though the forty-some interviews contained within add personal colour, humour and passion to the story that is Port Dalhousie, the historical account would not be complete without a narrative that defines the eras that this settlement, village and town passed through on the way to becoming what it is today. This history begins at the close of the 18th century and carries on to the early 1960s when it ceased being a town and became a suburb of the City of St. Catharines. The many who remember the days prior to amalgamation, and even many newcomers, identify with living in Port Dalhousie; or as the old-timers would say “Pordaloozie”
