Plaque near Miller's Creek along the Niagara Parkway : The Welland Canal at the Niagara Frontier Plaque near Miller's Creek along the Niagara Parkway: The Welland Canal at the Niagara Frontier. The passage of the first two vessels form lake to lake was achieved in 1829. After “stemming the broad and strong current of Niagara”, the vessels reached Black Rock where they were met with bursts of applause and honoured by the discharge of artillery from The Terrace.
