OFFICIAL SOUVENIR.
ERIE CANAL BOAT-The Erie Canal, connecting
Lake Erie with the Hudson River, was begun in 1817
and completed in 1825. By this enterprise New York
harbor was connected by water with the remotest re-
gions of the Great Lakes, commerce was greatly in-
creased, and New York, which formerly ranked second
to Philadelphia in size, soon became the metropolis of
the New World.
