Course Description

Moses Cleaveland and his party of surveyors didn’t land on the banks of the Cuyahoga River by accident. They came specifically to found a city at the junction of the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie. This course will examine the many ways that Lake Erie, the Cuyahoga River and the Ohio and Erie Canal shaped the development of the city and its people. From the first canal boats to the great ore freighters to the lake passenger steamers to the modern container ships that sail today from Cleveland to Europe, much of the city’s wealth has been derived from the waterways that define the city.
