Manistique is on the Lake Michigan (Western route) near to Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The Lake Michigan (Western route) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Liverley. Expectations for coal traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. According to Arthur Taylor's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Northton Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Wikipedia has a page about Manistique
Manistique, formerly Monistique, is the only city and county seat of Schoolcraft County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,097.
The city borders the adjacent Manistique Township, but the two are administered automously. The city lies on the north shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Manistique River, which forms a natural harbor that has been improved with breakwaters, dredging, and the Manistique East Breakwater Light. The city is named after the river. The economy depends heavily on tourism from Lake Michigan, as well as nearby Indian Lake State Park and Palms Book State Park.
