Buffalo's ship canal, cut to link the city's harbor with Lake Erie, shows how much the city's fortunes depended on water traffic. When the Erie Canal opened in 1825 with its western terminus at Buffalo, the city became a busy transfer point for grain, lumber, and goods moving between the Great Lakes and New York's eastern markets. Ships needed a sheltered, deep channel to reach the docks and grain elevators, and the canal and its piers were built to provide one. Look at the water, the vessels, and the shoreline structures to see how the harbor was organized around shipping.
