It did not open for me either; however, I have found that usually they are working on the site. It opened tonight for me. I wish there was a way for them to say so instead of putting up the message that the page cannot be displayed.

continued from part 4. "The final trouble that the canal involved came in constant quarrels between the boatmen and the various mill owners over the water itself. The latter were drawing just enough water for their manufacturing to ruin the boatmen's business, and there was many a near riot over the matter. Mill owners even went so far as to tip loads of rocks into the locks so that the barges could not pass through and the boatmen threatened to set fire to the mills. All this trouble might have been avoided had enough money been raised in the first place so that the canal company could have controlled all the water rights. But matters went from bad to worse, and in 1848 the last toll was collected on barges. Before that time portions of the canal had been closed to passage. Providence auctioned off the boathouse terminal, and the following year the locks and land as far as Woonsocket were sold. Taking the place of the canal was the new railroad, connecting the same two towns and giving rise to the remark that of 'the two unions between Worcester and Providence, the first was weak as water -- the last strong as iron.' One can still trace the route of the old canal as it follows along the Canal Street, by the American Screw Company's works, and under Randall Street. Farther out in the country it becomes distinct for various intervals, disappearing entirely where it has been filled in. It was a noble experiment, one which could easily have been more fruitful in its results, and we might have seen the picturesque barges moving slowly along today through the Lower Blackstone River Valley." for more info: http://www.woonsocket.org/canal.html http://www.worcesterhistory.org/ex_blackstone.html http://www.blackstonedaily.com/RG-chuck.htm

Sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about as I haven't sent any messages.

Please state the subject of your inquiry. I do not know you so I delete your message unless a specific subject is mentioned. Claire

continued from part 2. "John Brown, with characteristic enterprise, began in 1796 to make the first plans for a canal from Providence to Worcester. He had the enthusiastic support of many influential citizens in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but, due to some legislative difficulties with the latter state, his plans never matured. Twenty-six years passed before the subject was brought up again -- this time with success. Citizens in both Worcester and Providence held meetings, discussed the need for a canal, and ended by forming commissions and engaging engineers to investigate every detail which such an enterprise would involve. Benjamin Wright, the chief engineer of the middle section of the Erie Canal, headed the party of surveyors and assayers who laid out the proposed route. The results of the survey were very encouraging. The soil was found easy to excavate. There were large ponds all along the route from which a supply of water could be obtained. The difference in elevation between tide water in Providence and Thomas Street in Worcester was found to be 451 1/2 feet, not a great difference considering that the canal was to be 45 miles in length. After the favorable report of the engineers, promoters of the enterprise went to work to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people with a view to raising the necessary money for the project. The estimated expense was $323,319, and the sum set to be raised was $400,000. Here a first great mistake was made. So successfully did the promoters present the canal proposition that they could have raised $1,000,000 as easily as the $400,000 they asked for. Later on, when the actual cost of the canal proved to be $750,000 and they needed more money, the public had lost its faith in the enterprise and was unresponsive. It was a marked contrast to the mad scrambling for stock when the Blackstone Canal Company was first formed. Then, people in Providence bought all that was offered and hurried to Worcester to buy up any more shares that might have been left over." continued in part 4.
