Page 143 THE OPENING OF THE LIVINGSTONE CHANNEL by ROBERT E. LEE Telescope October, 1967 It's entirely fitting that this reminder of a very important event should appear in Telescope, for it was fifty-five years ago that the event took place. October 19, 1912, was a banner day for Great Lakes Commerce. It was on that date that the Livingston Channel at the mouth of the Detroit River was opened to traffic with appropriate ceremonies. It was this channel, passing to the westward of Bob-Lo Island, that made an independent waterway for Steam dredges begin building a dam in the lower Detroit River. Roger Stahl Coll.
