Morris Wide Water Canal Boat Site
text:
The Morris Wide Water Canal Boat Site is an archaeological site in Morris, Illinois, which contains the remains of seven canal boats sunk in the Illinois & Michigan Canal. The boats were likely built between 1865 and 1885 and were abandoned at the site between 1895 and 1915, after which they gradually sank. All of the boats were flat-bottomed with a rounded bow and stern. The hulls of the boats are in good condition and provide insight into construction methods used in canal boats of the period.
