One of the entrances to the former Cornwall Canal in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada.

 

The Cornwall Canal was built by the British government of Canada to bypass a troublesome rapids hindering navigation on the St. Lawrence at Cornwall, Ontario. Construction began in 1834 and was completed in 1843.

 

It closed in 1968, after becoming obsolete and functionally replaced by the St. Lawrence Seaway.
