One of the great strengths of this website is the amount of information that has been made available. The American Canal Society doesn’t have a physical archives space, in fact that was a major issue when David Barber passed away was that his widow had to determine what would happen to his extensive collection of canal materials. Over the years, David had uploaded thousands of pages of information, mostly useful to the canal historian and researcher. When we moved the website, much of this material was lost as the links no longer worked. So I have been reloading these links as I find the non-functioning pages.
If you have never taken the time to check your states index sheets, go look and if you see something missing, consider adding to the collection. They are listed by state in the By State or Other Countries drop down menus.
I have also added more boat rides and I continue to work on the canal parks. There is so much out there to explore. Let me know if you see something that I have missed.
I am so grateful for the work you are doing to ensure the site offers as much as it does! However, I am having a problem with the links. Each time I click on a link, I get a message “Oops that page cannot be found”. I have tried numerous times but am never successful in seeing anything other than this message. Am I the only one? Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Hi Jim,
Yes we have caught onto this issue. When the site was transferred from the WordPress.com to the Bluehost.org hosting, a number of the links did not work as they pointed to pages on the other site. Oh bother! So I have been going through and reloading all those missing pages. If you have something that you are looking for in particular, let me know and I can get those up for you.
