[edit]DescriptionNorth West Company Lock 8.JPG |
English: North West Company Lock, an 1896 replica built atop the original 1797 bateaux lock, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
THE FIRST SAULT STE. MARIE CANAL LE PREMIER CANAL DE SAULT STE-MARIE The French explorers who first reached this favoured Ojibway hunting and fishing ground were soon followed by fur traders and missionaries who built a post and mission. By 1762 the region had come under British control and the trade eventually fell into the hands of the North West Company. Canoes and larger boats were towed through the rapids, sometimes by oxen, until 1797-8 when the Company built a canal with a wooden lock sufficiently large to admit a Montréal canoe. The lock was destroyed by American troops in 1814. Les marchands et les missionaires suivirent de près les explorateurs français dans cette région où les Saulteux aimaient faire la pêche et la chasse, et ils y établirent un comptoir et une mission. Vers 1782, la région, dominée par les Britanniques, vit le commerce des fourrures passer à la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest. Canots et bateaux étaient halés, parfois par des bœufs, à travers les rapides, mais en 1797-1798, la Compagnie aménagea un canal doté d'une éculse de bois assez grande pour y admettre un canot de maître. L'écluse fut détruite par les troupes américaines en 1814. Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Commission des lieux et monuments historiques du Canada. |
