How the Cape Cod Canal was built!

Today on CapeCast: We're excited to show you oodles of cool old photographs as we talk to historians about the challenges of building the Cape Cod Canal. It's an adventure back in time!

Imagine Cape Cod without a canal 😳

Thank you for telling us!

another somewhat local checking in. really interesting. I knew snippets and an odd fact here and there, but never the whole story.Thanks

[@gragor11]

Thanks for making the video. I'm not from anywhere near the East coast and was unaware that a canal even existed so I learned a lot today. I'm finished watching the video now and I will have to google the canal as none of your maps indicated where the canal is physically located.

Great video but I hope you all at Cape Cast have seen the amazing local take on "Modern Marvels - Cape Cod Canal" - really cool and interesting - especially given how we are all local to it.

why is there a bunch of stuff on the bridge at 1:09 ?

Hadd! (Hard)

Mostly used by recreational craft now and doesn't need to be so wide. Modern ocean vessels are too large. Take down the old bridges and put in a few tunnels.

Cod Island, not Cape Cod.

Wow, that’s gotta be one of the only examples I’ve heard where the federal government took over and the project actually improved. V
