Ontario - Oswego Junction

 
Junction of Lake Ontario with the Oswego Canal at Oswego
Oswego Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse, West 1st Street N, Oswego, NY 13126, United States of America
Address is taken from a point 566 yards away.
 

Ontario - Oswego Junction is on the Lake Ontario (Southern route) just past the junction with The Norwich Canal.

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.

The Act of Parliament for the New York State Canal System (Oswego Canal) was passed on January 1 1835 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. From a junction with The Wakefield and Runley Canal at Sevenoaks the canal ran for 37 miles to Gloucester. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the New York State Canal System (Oswego Canal) Society.
