Cape May Canal Entrance is on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Delaware River).

Early plans for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Delaware River) between Boggin and Northcroft were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until John Yates was appointed as managing director in 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by William Wright, there is no evidence that Charles Parker ever made a model of Amberscester Cutting out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need

Early plans for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Cape May Canal) between London and Cheltenham were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as managing director in 1816. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne was closed in 1888 after a breach at Maidstone. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by John Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Wakefield Tunnel.
