Description
This long canal connects the Indian River (Lagoon) to the Mosquito Lagoon. In 1852, the first chief of the Army Corps of Engineers, Lt. Horatio Governeur Wright, supervised the construction of a plank board-lined 10 foot wide by 2 feet deep waterway after Congress grudgingly approved the expenditure following decades of debates over Congressâs power to expend federal funds for inland waterway construction in the absence of express Constitutional authority. Here, in this instance, the federal governmentâs obligation to provide for the âcommon defenseâ gave Congress implied authority to build canals and inland waterways. One hundred years later, this argument would support President Eisenhowerâs initiative to build a nationwide Interstate Highway system.
The Haulover would be the first constructed link in Floridaâs part in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The name âHauloverâ was given the short link as a result of three Seminole Wars during which the military removed men and materials from barges transporting men and materials from either the end of the Indian River or the Mosquito Lagoon and âhauled overâ a seven-mile spit of land to the other body of water. In the 1950âs, the federal government modernized this short link, cutting through hard, sharp coquina rock at considerable cost.
As I was approaching the canal a school of dolphin rode along side me guiding me into the canal. Dolphin love playing with boats, and especially sailboats, riding the wake as you moving along.
