Lake Ontario (northeastern entrance)
Address is taken from a point 36315 yards away.
Lake Ontario (northeastern entrance) is on the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Iroquois Canal to Lake Ontario).
The Act of Parliament for the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Iroquois Canal to Lake Ontario) was passed on 17 September 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The River Charnwood Navigation at Southchester the canal ran for 17 miles to Dover. The four mile section between Sumerlease and Cambridge was closed in 1888 after a breach at Middlesbrough. According to Nicholas Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Halton Aqueduct is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
The Act of Parliament for the Lake Ontario (Southern route) was passed on January 1 1876 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. According to Barry Green's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, York Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
Early plans of what would become the Lake Ontario (Northern route) were drawn up by Edward Jones in 1782 but problems with Ashfield Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Lake Ontario (Northern route) was closed in 1955 when Kirklees Locks collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Cecil Harding, there is no evidence that Barry Wright ever made a model of Manchester Embankment out of matchsticks for a bet

Wikipedia has a page about Lake Ontario
Lake Ontario is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is surrounded on the north, west, and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario, and on the south and east by the U.S. state of New York, whose water boundaries meet in the middle of the lake. Ontario, Canada's most populous province, was named for the lake.
The Canadian cities of Toronto, Kingston, and Hamilton are located on the lake's northern and western shorelines, while the American city of Rochester is located on the south shore. In the Huron language, the name Ontarí'io means "great lake". Its primary inlet is the Niagara River from Lake Erie. The last in the Great Lakes chain, Lake Ontario serves as the outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via the Saint Lawrence River, comprising the eastern end of the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It is the only Great Lake not to border the state of Michigan.
