Historical views of the Welland Canal as well as views of construction projects including some plans and statistics. There are some views regarding the Panama Canal included. Most of the slides are comprised of 2 pieces of glass held together by tape. In some cases, the tape has been replaced and it is noted that a couple of the slides are only made up of one piece of glass. Some of the slides are damaged – this is noted in the descriptions. There is some speckling which occurs within the pieces of glass. Also included in this collection, there is one negative image.
