26:32 "The canal was built because of the depletion of wood resources." Does that mean that iron furnaces previously used charcoal made from trees cut near a furnace, but then, after all the trees were cut, ironmasters needed to ship in coal instead of charcoal to run their furnaces? Thanks for this great presentation!
We can't speak directly to that regarding the Morris Canal (as the Canal Society of NJ would be more the expert knowledge base) but that does seem like the point that Tim was making during this presentation.
great video. i visit this canal around the hackettstown rockport area. id love to see the canal get restored and protected so it cant be built on. im also from schoolys mt. used to live on drakestown rd near flocktown rd. cheers..
I wish we still had this canal! The canals in the UK which used to be used for distribution of goods are now used for vacations and expeditions. Pubs on the canal have such a nice outlook. We really lost something that could have been utilized today.
The Morris Canal cut through my hometown of Bloomfield. The incline plane in Bloomfield is now JFK Drive & part of the Garden State Parkway is the old canal. Pretty cool. Thanks for posting

There is a inclined plane, otherwise known as a marine railroad, in Ontario on the Trent Severn waterway. It is fantastic to see in person.
That sounds great! Thank you Michael!
