Title

Welland Ship Canal Tunnel - Jennie Pearson Briggs standing by Tunnel

Description

en-CA Jennie was the daughter of James Sparkman Pearson - born Thorold (c.1899) - and married George Agry Briggs. The website wellandcanals.ca (January 2018) identifies this as the Third Welland Canal. The Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel runs underneath Locks 18 and 19 of the 3rd Welland Canal. Built in 1876, it truly once was a sight to bestow. However currently the one end of the tunnel has been bricked up due to vandals in the area.
