This plaque erected to mark the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Welland Ship Canal to world shipping on August 6, 1932, commemorates the significant role this historic waterway and our inland fleet play in Canadian national life.



This canal ranks among the great engineering achievements of this century. It forms part of the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Seaway System, being the fourth to connect Lake Ontario and Lake Erie since the completion in 1829 of the original Welland Canal.
