Conquering Niagara: The Story of the Welland Canal
Combining rare archival footage with remarkable new footage of the Canal as never seen before, this riveting documentary takes viewers on a journey of discovery through its rich history. From a Jesuit monks first glimpse of the majestic Niagara Falls to a deadly battle between rival factions in the 1840s. From Fenian cross-border raids to wartime acts of sabotage. From a competition between rival nations for economic dominance of the St. Lawrence corridor, to the beneficial partnership behind the St. Lawrence Seaway. It took the fortitude of one man, William Hamilton Merrit, to overcome the natural barrier of Niagara Falls and link the heartland of a continent with the waiting markets of the world. In so doing, the Welland Canal would take its place among the greatest achievements the world has ever known.
