Washington Canal (New Jersey) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Washington Canal (New Jersey) The Washington Canal, in Sayreville, New Jersey, is a waterway connecting the South River with the Raritan River, bypassing several loops at the mouth of the former. It was chartered in 1823 to shorten the distance along the South River from South River, New Jersey (then known as Washington) to the Raritan River to speed water transport. It was built about 1824–1825.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Jersey's long legacy of canals )〕 During Hurricane Sandy, the area around the Washington Canal suffered water heights that swelled to 14 feet above flood stage at the peak of the storm. Nearly all the homes in the area became uninhabitable, and more than homes 30 lost their foundations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Legislators survey flood damage in Sayreville )〕 ==References==
