Lake Carriers Get Seaway Jitters.

The article discusses the threats posed by the opening of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, a system of canals that runs from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean, to the shipping men in the U.S. and Canadian Great Lakes in February 1972. It mentions that shipping men fear that the completion of the canals will attract lower-cost foreign ships. The Seaway is expected to allow deep draft ocean ships up to 27 feet to invade the trades in the area.
