1930's: DID YOU KNOW THAT TRENTON WAS ONCE A SEAPORT?
Once upon a time for a very short while, the city of Trenton Joined
Phildaelphia a seaport but alas, it didn't last. Apparently by the time
one moved up river toward Trenton,the shallow Delaware resulted in the
termination of the effort. It is supposition on my part but I believe
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers found that deepening the Delaware to
Trenton would be much too expensive. Perhaps a visitor
to this website with knowledge on the subject can enlighten me on this subject. It would
have been a very important accomplishment if the deepening project came
to fruition.
