Publisher's Synopsis
The Union of the Oceans by Ship Canal Without Locks Via the Atrato Valley is a book written by Frederick M. Kelley in 1859. The book discusses the feasibility of constructing a ship canal without locks that would connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Atrato River valley in Colombia. Kelley argues that such a canal would provide a faster and safer route for shipping goods between the two oceans, compared to the existing route around the southern tip of South America. The book provides detailed plans and cost estimates for the construction of the canal, as well as the potential economic benefits of its completion. The Union of the Oceans by Ship Canal Without Locks Via the Atrato Valley is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the early efforts to connect the world's oceans through a canal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
