"La construction du canal a débuté en 1828. Des milliers d'hommes, principalement des immigrants, ont effectué le travail éreintant et dangereux de creuser le sol et faire exploser la roche. Les ouvriers, des maçons, charpentiers, forgerons, ont construit les barrages, les écluses, la dalots, les aqueducs et le tunnel Paw Paw. Bien que chaque section du canal ait été mise en service dès sa construction , le trajet entier depuis Cumberland (Maryland) jusqu'à Georgetown a officiellement ouvert le 10 octobre 1830 .
Après des années de baisses des profits et d'inondations catastrophiques, l'exploitation du canal a cessé en 1924"
Georgetown is the capital and largest city of Guyana, situated on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Demerara River. It serves as the country's primary commercial, administrative, and financial center, functioning as its chief port and main hub for trade in goods such as sugar, rice, and minerals.
Known as the "Garden City of the Caribbean," the city features a distinctive grid layout with canals, colonial wooden architecture, and landmarks like St. George's Cathedral.

Built in 1923-24 on the original site of Southwestern University, this structure served as Georgetown High School for over fifty years. Designed by Austin architect Charles H.

A gymnasium was added to the back of the building in the 1940s.
We were directed onto one of the larger moorings from Georgetown Yacht
Basin. "These are 400 pound moorings - they'll hold you," said Ivan, the
dockmaster. Now I own three moorings in Castine. The two for aCappella have
5,000 and 10,000 pound stones on them. 400 pounds didn't seem very large
but it was dead calm six miles up the river in Georgetown.
Needless to say, we experienced wind gusts of 40-45 MPH just after dark.
The boat swung around and waves developed around us and it was quite an
event. Thankfully, the mooring didn't move but I was wondering for a
while...
Another launch into town for Tucker this morning. We walked a mile or so to
Galena and found a new Amish market called Ripples. It isn't in any of the
guidebooks and is an incredible find for cruisers. They had the best meats
and vegtables we'd ever seen. We lugged back 4 bags of goods.
Tonight we're going to the Granary for dinner. It's one of those things you
have to do when you come here.
