Ive watched every youtube about the erie canal....this is the very best.
That's very kind of you to say, I'm glad so many people are enjoying the video!
This is grand. Takes us to our history. Americans have been innovative from the beginning. We are a great country.
Yes. The native-Americans.
@areguapiri Please just go away
@@surfrat8884 ...The historic truth makes your backside "bleed".
@@areguapiri get some real help seriously
Maybe so but it was built at a time when most of the British canal system was already complete. The first modern canal (Bridgewater) was finished by 1761. The proposers of the Erie Canal would have been aware of it. There are relatively few canals in the US as building started as the railways were taking off. The US is a great and innovative country but did not pioneer everything by any means
I grew up in Western New York = Alden. The western (Buffalo) end of the Erie Canal is a hop, skip, and jump from were I lived. It is all historical as this fine presentation shows. The people who put the video together did a superb job on gathering information, organizing it and finally assembling it into this absolutely amazing piece. Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
That’s very kind of you to say. I’m thrilled you enjoyed it
OS-WEEE-GO. I live 25 min from Seneca Falls and have never seen main street so bare!
I did my best with pronunciations, so sorry to disappoint. Hopefully all of the comments with the correct pronunciations will fill in the viewers.
And no cars so it.s 5am
Excellent presentation! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed your video and commentary. Lived in Syracuse in the 70s while attending Syracuse University. Never visited the canal which I now regret. The canal is one of the greatest engineering marvels in world history. All done without electricity gasoline powered equipment. Fine with pick axes shovels and wagons pulled by horses and mules. Also the need to cut through dense forest first and removing stumps and roots before digging. All done in 8 years. This means to complete the 369+ miles 1 mile needed to be completed every 8 days.
This is interesting and means our historical timeline in up for questioning. Thanks
Thanks for the detailed comment!
I was in Brockport for the eclipse. I planned to see it right on the banks of the canal. Unfortunately the canal was drained for the winter and it was overcast for the eclipse. What a bummer. I saw a whole bunch of nothing. At least the Kodak museum was open and we traveled south for the Corning museum and onward to the Bethel museum. (Woodstock) Never ever take the back roads to Bethel. Just take 17B like everyone else.
Bethel, NY......Cool. Would love to go there again. Haven't been there since August '69. Ha!
Well done.
A National treasure.
Thanks for this top tier Erie Canal vid. Videography and >especially< narration are A grade. Straight up Informative. No BS juvenile political/religious drama. Thanks!
Thrilled you enjoyed it
Shawn Rhymes here. I'm enjoying this video very much. If you haven't heard of the Great Loop, you might want to check it out. The Erie canal is part of the Great Loop, and I'm hoping to do the Great Loop, but I'd be going west from Albany to Lake Erie. Thanks for the video.👍
Cool, thanks!
Thank you. I lived in Syracuse for a while. This brought back some fond memories.
Glad you enjoyed it
I plan to go by boat this summer, very informative. Great video
Glad it was helpful!
Make sure to spend the day and night in the Village of Baldwinsville. You will love it. Lock 24.
Brilliant!
Nice of you to say something
A national treasure.
Yep! I'm glad it's preserved.
Awesome! Our plan was to fly into Syracuse for the solar eclipse, but it was hard to get away, make that long weekend happen, and airfare got postponed until this coming weekend! Thanks to your journey here, I know exactly what and where to explore. You’re appreciated more than you know!
Thrilled you enjoyed the video!
Nice video. (But it's pronounced Sko-Hare- eee and. Oz-WE- go) I l live near the Saratoga Battlefield. Very detailed overview and well done!
Thanks for the info!
Very informative and enjoyable. Nicely done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You always know your neighbor. You always know your pal. If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal!
Someone had to do it. Nice work
Excellent. Thank 😢
You have done a fine job of explaining the canal along which I grew up.
Much appreciated
Thank you for a very well narrated documentary
Thanks for listening
Really nice history and overview. Thanks for putting it together!
Good video! I grew up about 200 yards away from the canal in Pendleton, NY, but I'm always learning new things about it. Spent a lot of time fishing for bullhead and sunfish when I was a kid. Thanks!
My cousin went to college at Niagara. So did my uncle. The closest I ever came to Pendleton was when I camped over night at a state park right on Lake Erie. We were on tour with the band Phish in 1997. We saw the Darien Lake show. Great times.
@yankees29 the Phish tour also stopped in Plattsburgh, close to where I live now. I didn't move back until 2000 so I missed it. 😞
@@77bubba00 I was at the Plattsburgh show in 1995
@@77bubba00 it was called the Clifford Ball if you want to look it up.
@@yankees29 Thanks. Yes, I did know that. :) Several of my friends were there. I was stationed at that base before it closed.
My grandparents traveled west on the Erie Canal in 1856 to a connection by steam ship to Sheboygan WI.
Have you been back to check out the route?
Thank you 👍
Great video well done and narrated . I lived on a boat in the summer of 87, just west of lock 23 past through it many a times over the years great memories. Wish I was back in NY. Thank you for your contribution to a great state in such a eloquent manner... 👌👍
Thanks for sharing!
I've got a mule, her name is 0:19 Sal.......15 miles on the Erie canal...... she's a good worker, and a good old pal. Fifteen miles on the Erie canal.
I tried to put that song at the end, but some copyright troll tried to monetize my video for them. So I had to cut it.
My Great grandmother and her family left from Boonville NY traveled down the Erie to Buffalo on their way to their new home Cambria, WI. Was there a connecting canal from Boonville to Utica? Awesome video.
I don't have that info... maybe someone in the comments can help you with that.
Great video
Great comment!
This was a wonderful production. I wish the Erie Canal network had more infrastructure, as that would allow for more recreational use by boaters and tourists alike; I've been watching Cruising The Cut channel, and the English canal network supports so much activity.
I have family in the Syracuse and Auburn areas, so I've visited many of the sites you mentioned between those cities and Vermont, where I spent most of my life. I was surprised you skipped the Chittenango Junction site, which has a replica canal boat, a preserved general store, and a rediscovered and excavated dry dock. I'm glad you included the Ticonderoga at Skenesborough (SKEENS-boro), although it's sad to see that it's not better preserved.
Thanks for the kind words
As a kid back in the 60 s. Me and a couple friends would spend the summers traveling the canal from north tonawanda to Seneca lk, Oswego to lk Champlain We had old rechardson wooden boats. It was one of the best times of my life
That's a crazy adventure. How long did that take?
We were gone most of the summer. There were many different trips. All summer in 1000 islands. Out from Oswego. Six weeks to lk Champlain 2-3 weeks to lk Seneca I think every summer for 4-5 years we went on adventures. Then in 71 we came all the way to Fl. Via inland waterway. They we had to grow up lol. Home, family, kids. Now it seems a lifetime ago. And it was

@@andrep8287 yes the first 25 years were the best of my life. So thankful for that time.
Thanks!
Honored, thank you!
Really well done presentation. Thanks. Grew up in Syracuse, nice to see some pictures from the time when the canal traveled through the city. Growing up it was easy to see the signs of the canal downtown.
Thank you very much!
Great travel log...
Much appreciated
Truly an amazing video...as a history buff I found it to be extremely well done. Appreciate you sharing your amazing adventure. Sincerest Thanks.😎🇺🇸⛴️😇
Our pleasure!
Most excellent video!! I love spending time at the Waterford Flight, and it's a great place to visit!! This was a very well done view of the canal, and for someone who has been near the canal his whole life, it was appreciated!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
very good!!!
There was the old Chenango Canal that went downfrom Utica to the Susquehanna River in Binghamton.
People don’t realize how many canals there used to be.
I am Inspired 🤔
My friend, Bob Withington, and I canoed the Canal from Buffalo to Albany. If one has the time ( three weeks) it is the best way to see and experience the Canal.
Wow, that's really impressive. Did you camp too?
Very well done video..🙂
Rowed through the Baldswinville lock when part of the Syracuse Crew.
That's a wild way to exercise.
I live in Clarence, a Eastern suburb of Buffalo, NY and use the Middleport access to the paved former tow path for a walkabout. This video has really peaked my interest about the canal and the towns bordering it. Now I will have to plan a trip to visit the places you featured, very cool video.
I applaud you for your presentation on the Erie Canal.
I am a bit disappointed that you skipped over the terminus of the Eric Canal in Waterford. There is a flight of locks in Waterford. Throughout the village are preserved remnants of the Champlain Canal.
Waterford also supports several parks center around the canals and a beautiful recently built heritage center on the waterfront.
Unfortunately, in my mind, your wonderful presentation is incomplete by skipping over Waterford, NY.
I went there, but by the end of the trip I had contracted the flu and was in pretty rough shape. I didn't do it justice in video, so I edited the video into it's current form. Everyone loves their local sections of the canal and there was no way I could do every section the justice it deserves.
What a great documentary. Although I'm kind of sad about the Schoharie crossing aqueduct. There's even a stabilization project going on there right now. I was just there yesterday, and to see the 200 year old structure up close because the dams on the Mohawk aren't closed is awe inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I never been to the canal or NY but looks like a interesting and historical place to visit. Thanks.
---Watts, CA.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool
You completely missed Lock #17 in Little Falls. It was at one time it was the highest liftlock 40.5 ft. in the world, and is different from the normal Canal locks in the way it functions. You also have Moss Island with it's very large water carved Potholes.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey, Rochester! Wake up! Why don't we celebrate the old canal district the way Buffalo does? No wonder they're siphoning tourists away from us!
I've lived in Rochester for 12 years, and I've learned more about the Erie Canal during this 30-minute video than in all of those 12 years combined. Thanks!
Rochester is a cool city, good luck with getting people to pay attention. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I see Medina Culvert and raise you Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. But that aside, the Erie Canal is mighty impressive.
A 300 mile bike path? I know what I'm doing next summer. Thanks for the info.
Have fun!
I've watched a few CZcams channels where boats do traverse the canal.
How could you overlook the only functional aquaduct, in Camillus, where you can ride a canal boat over, or canoe beneath, the canal’s intersection with Nine Mile Creek?
It’s impossible to hit everything, but thanks for letting people know
Sucks the weather wasn't cooperative, but very good video!
Thank God for conservationists and that NY State had the wisdom to preserve the Erie canal cause all you see in Pa are tiny remnants of their once great canal system and Pa's once great virgin forested region.
I made a video about the Allegheny Portage Railroad if that interests you.
Potterville? Enjoy your video.
It is true that Buffalo was originally the physical location of the western end of the Erie Canal. However, as in this video, that fact is often misrepresented as though it is still the case. Today, the canal itself physically ends where it joins with the Niagara River at North Tonawanda. In 1918, the old historical portion of the canal between there and Buffalo was removed. Buffalo’s term “Canalside” is merely an expression that uses the historical route of the canal as a promotional gimmick to support business in its downtown area. Perhaps this misrepresentation of today’s reality may be influenced by the current terminus of the canal between North Tonawanda and Tonawanda at the Niagara River being merely a relatively boring (i.e., non-commercial) place for free public use, with parks, paved trails for walking and biking, and beautiful scenery.
This was a very good presentation that moved right along. You did neglect the Black River Canal, though. Were the remains too difficult to access?
As with most history, there is way too much to cover and the deeper you dig the more you uncover. There is a lot I left out to follow the parts of the Erie Canal that is still in use. And there’s even more that I don’t know about the canal history, as I’m not an expert in the topic.
@@megatheriumclub OK. I was just wondering because the Black River Canal, though short, has a very large elevation change and it needed over 100 locks. I used to see parts of it when I would drive north from Rome, NY to Boonville.
Excellent video for the extensive length that was covered!
Nice tour but you did not say anything about Locks 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 better known as the flight , the highest lift in the shortest distance, it is that way because of the Cohoes Falls. The flight get you down to the Champlain canal north or go south to Troy NY and the Federal lock which lowers you into the Hudson river . Where the river becomes Title. IN Troy NY they get a tide. From there you can go to any place in the world.
Grew up 3 miles from it and the Black River canal intersection
Rome ?
So much connection for upstate NY
Read Walter D. Edmund’s books about life on the original Erie Canal.
I appreciate the recommendation.
I’ve been known to leave constructive criticism and snide remarks hear and there however, if this guy put everything into this, is open to learn more about video production techniques… I think he could be one of the next big geographic influencers . If not that part of the new “networks” of content creators
Thanks I suppose
Check out the Camillus Erie canal park and Sims store museum
Comment readers, check out this place too!
👍👍
Thumbs up to you too!
That's a pretty ship @ 26:27 !
I really thought it would have been abandoned and filled in, or a dump like "Love Canal" I am surprised that it looks so nice and is functional.
no sir, the difference is the love canal was a failed project that never was really started, erie canal was THE SINGLE most important technological advancement in the east coast, creating almost every city along it, and creating the economies of New York City and Buffalo and allowing trade of the mid west where before none of these points were even thoughts
I saw that film at a 'stag' party in the '70's.
👍🎯😍
Well done! I was born and raised in the Oswego/Syracuse area. You are excused from properly pronouncing many of the towns names. LOL If I wasn't from here I wouldn't know how they are pronounced by the natives. ;-)
I appreciate the support and the sympathy.
Much info is available and the physical route(s) better mapped for the NY Erie canal.
More work needs to be done to pull together the routes and history of western canals through Ohio and Indiana that combined with Erie, allowing movement of goods all the way up and down the Mississippi River all the way from the Hudson River in NY.
IMO you should have started the video by explaining the history of the original Erie Canal that opened in 1825, underwent several 19th century expansions, that the east-west canal that exists today was started in 1905, completed in 1918 and was originally called the Barge Canal to differentiate it from the original Erie Canal. At 13:43 you show the Richmond Aqueduct but didn't clearly state it was built as a part of one of the 19th century expansions to the original canal to carry the original canal over the Seneca River.
As is quite often the case Wikipedia has clear explanations concerning local history subjects.
The waterway today referred to as the Erie Canal is quite different from the 19th century Erie Canal. More than half of the original Erie Canal was destroyed or abandoned during construction of the New York State Barge Canal in the early 20th century. The sections of the original route remaining in use were widened significantly, mostly west of Syracuse, with bridges rebuilt and locks replaced. It was called the Barge Canal at the time, but that name fell into disuse with the disappearance of commercial traffic and the increase of recreational travel in the later 20th century.
In 1903 the New York State legislature authorized construction of the New York State Barge Canal as the improvement of the Erie, the Oswego, the Champlain, and the Cayuga and Seneca Canals. In 1905, construction of the Barge Canal began, which was completed in 1918, at a cost of $96.7 million.
This new canal replaced much of the original route, leaving many abandoned sections (most notably between Syracuse and Rome). New digging and flood control technologies allowed engineers to canalize rivers that the original canal had sought to avoid, such as the Mohawk, Seneca, and Clyde rivers, and Oneida Lake. In sections that did not consist of canalized rivers (particularly between Rochester and Buffalo), the original Erie Canal channel was enlarged to 120 feet (37 m) wide and 12 feet (3.7 m) deep.
I appreciate the additional history.
@@megatheriumclubThe stones lining the Commercial Slip briefly shown in Buffalo are actually original, 1825 construction. To say that the Erie Canal built Buffalo is an epic understatement: In 1813, the Village of Buffalo was burned by British forces. Twelve years later, the canal opened. Seven years after that, it was now the City of Buffalo.
The bumbs at marshals hydro it me help😢
Medina.....is pronounced Ma...dine..a.
Not... Ma...dee na.
I know...cuz I'm a native of the area.😊 Nice video young man.👍👍
Tried my best, but thanks for the info
You completely skipped Schenectady...?
Sorry! Feel free to share anything you’d have liked me to highlight
Great video, really good production value. But, Schoharie is pronounced like Sko-Hair-E.
I researched the hell out of that and watched people pronounce it in videos... I gave it my best go, haha. Sorry to disappoint.
Sko HARR ee
Also: Ah SWEE go, for Oswego.
Cool video, though. I've only explored the parts near me - never the whole length
@@megatheriumclub It's all good, some of the geographic names here are a little crazy. Like take Schuylerville for example, pronounced Sky-Ler-Ville. I blame the Dutch.
Half the towns and villages in New York have names that originate in Haudenosaunee nanes, words, descriptions. I daresay it is the rare geographer who could nail every pronunciation.
And yeah, what isn't Native American nomenclature is often Dutch, which is frequently utterly incomprehensible.
Sko-HARE-ee
This pronunciation contradicts other ones in the comments. You're just confusing me more!
That place gives me the heebie-jeebies.
The whole canal?
not that he mispronounced so many cities lol. Medina, Oswego. all love from lockport
If you’d like to give the proper pronunciations, I’m sure it would help viewers who decide to visit. Thanks for the feedback.
@@megatheriumclub Not taking anything away from this very good video. Thank you for producing and sharing it. Very good quality videography.
2 constructive criticisms:
- Selfies are creepy, no matter how beautiful you are. I find them to be a big distraction. I'm here for the subject matter.
-It's pronounced, "sko-HAIR-ree" (Schoharie)
The common denominator is some bumbs gets the upper hand in threatening or taking over my place or assaulting me and I’m from a family with the largest wildlife easment project but I always get the lose in the case with the bumb and the cops on the win I just realized this is bizzare and bad I need help
You forgot the Black River canal, museum in Boonville NY. I believe it veered off the Erie Canal in Rome.
Pronunciation of Oswego and Schoharie.
Herkimer has a tour boat that will take you down the canal and through a lock.
Sorry I missed it.
How could you not spend time talking about Lock 24, the Village of Baldwinsville, and all that there is to do in the Village? You missed a huge GEM there.
I knew I’d end up missing things. Sorry about that
Keep in mind the state's population voted i a referendum to perform a 19th/20th century upgrade roughly equivalent to the building of the cost of the Panama Canal to upgrade the canal to it's most modern configuration so that they would not be be subject to a monopoly of transport controlled by the New York Central. I like to think of it as their own "BRONX SALUTE " to the Vanderbilts
Nicely done video on the * Barge Canal * ca. 1918 to present. Historically two other major canals connected to the * Erie canal * * Enlarged Erie canal being the Black River Canal and the Genesee Canal. No mention of the aqueduct in Rochester as shown in your video?
I know what you mean. It's hard to get people excited about a thing they've never heard of, but by packaging it all as the Erie Canal and showing people as many of it's aspects as possible, then they'll learn anyway and dig even deeper if they're interested.
Dude. You went to noisy port Byron and not jordan. The area in jordan is massive. Jordan also had an aquaduct. Thank you for visiting either way.
I did go to Jordan, but I had to pick and choose what to highlight. And the rain didn't help. I've actually biked the trail around Jordan too, it's a nice section.
Taking a canal boat along the route is on my bucket list. Too bad it's in New York.
This is the part of the state that makes NY almost tenable.
Medina is pronounced MAH-DIE-NA. Oswego is pronounced OS-WE-GO not OS-WAY-GO
Thanks for adding!
Well done! BTW the Schoharie County, Creek & Village is pronounced: skoh-HAIR-ee.
Thanks for the compliment.
I wish the narrator would have learned the pronunciation of place names before trying to name them.
I researched it quite a bit actually. And I lived in upstate New York for a while. I've heard many conflicting pronunciations, so sorry to disappoint. I get the same feedback when I say Appalachian as apple-a-shun, and not app-a-latch-un. Surely all of the comments about my pronunciation will fill in this videos audience.
Need to correct the narrator’s pronunciation of common NY place names.
I’m sorry that’s all you took away from the video.
Hand me a44
The cops and some bumbs terrorized me in Rome Ny end of story no other story body
Are there any more bumbs who want to threaten me the cops will take your side

Schoharie - Sko Harry, Oswego - ahh swee gp
I hear ya. That's the problem of translating so many languages through so many other languages.
Somehow, women's rights got connected to the Erie canal. How many men died making it? I imagine if women were responsible for it, there would would be a golden altar at each end to make sure everyone knew.
When it comes to "women's rights", there seems to be a memory loss as to how they were connected to women's privileges and women's immunity from certain responsibilities that, for men, accompanied those rights. Women got the rights but somehow avoided the responsibilities and obligations. ie the draft, volunteer fire department participation, financial responsibility for the family and even for debts incurred by your spouse. Have a great empowered day. 😊
That’s a pretty terrible reading of history that sounds completely uneducated in what was contained within the Declaration of Sentiments.
The Declaration of Sentiments, written primarily by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, outlined a comprehensive list of grievances and demands related to women's rights. Here are the main points addressed in the document:
The document asserts that all men and women are created equal.
It states that women are deprived of their inalienable right to the elective franchise (the right to vote).
It criticizes the over-representation of men in the law-making process, leading to women's oppression.
Women are compelled to submit to laws in the formation of which they had no voice.
Married women were civilly dead in the eyes of the law, lacking property rights and legal existence apart from their husbands.
Men had framed the laws of divorce, as well as separation and custody rights, in their favor.
Women were barred from most profitable employments and denied equal pay for equal work.
The document criticizes the denial of women's access to higher education, particularly to the prestigious professions of theology, medicine, and law.
It asserts that men have created a false public sentiment by giving the world a different code of morals for men and women.
The Declaration of Sentiments calls for women's equal rights in marriage, education, employment, religion, and politics.
It demands that women should have the right to speak publicly, challenging societal norms of the time.
The document insists that women must take responsibility for their own emancipation and work towards securing their rights.
The Declaration of Sentiments concludes with a series of resolutions, including the demand for women's suffrage, which became the primary focus of the women's rights movement in the following decades.
Incorrect pronunciation of many places and towns--several times
