Repeated suggestions that the gasoline shortage in the eastern seaboard states might be partly met by use of barges in the Intracoastal Waterway have brought this sheltered shel-tered route into the news, especially so since the submarine menace. In-tra-coastal Waterway is a 3, 500-mile route, mostly land-protected, from Boston along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts to the Rio Grande. From Boston to New York the depth of the waterway is ample, but shelter from sea attack is limited lim-ited to that provided by Cape Cod and Long Island, says the National Geographic society. From New York to Norfolk the route that will eventually take shape is by a wide, deep trans-Jersey canal from Sayre-ville Sayre-ville on the Raritan to Bordentown on the Delaware, then through the industry-lined channel of the Delaware's Dela-ware's upper tidewater to the Chesapeake Chesa-peake and Delaware canal and into tlie Chesapeake bay. |
