Excerpt from Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to Ascertain the Practicability of a Ship-Canal Between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, by the Way of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
Upon this question of cost, I would reduce the dimensions of the canal until the original outlay would form the basis of a permanent and remunerative investment, because I believe that the financial success of the project will depend upon our domestic trade, and not upon the general commerce of the world. In other words, I would make the Tehnantepec Canal bear the same relation to the trade of the United States that the Erie Canal does to the State of New York. In a few years it will have tended as much to the aggrandizement of the whole country as that canal has to the Empire State.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the history of the Tehuantepec and Nicaragua Surveying Expedition of 1870, which set out to determine if a ship canal could be built across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Led by Captain R. W. Shufeldt, the expedition's findings centered on the crucial problem of finding a consistent local water supply for a canal. The author's findings ruled out previous canal proposals due to a lack of water but identified an alternate route with water supply from the Upper Coatzacoalcos or Corte River. In addition, new harbor designs are presented to facilitate use of the canal. The book provides a wealth of technical detail on the engineering challenges and solutions encountered during the expedition, offering unique insights into the problems and possibilities of constructing a ship canal in the region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333108670_0
