In 2007, the Rideau Canal and Kingston Fortifications were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A trip to any of the 24 lock stations along the 202-kilometre waterway, or to Fort Henry and the Martello towers in Kingston, reveals why the Rideau has earned this distinction. The historical sites are remarkably well-preserved and the canal system continues to operate almost exactly as it did when completed in 1832.
Rideau Canal: A Historical Guide was written and illustrated to provide visitors with a historical overview of the waterway's origins, the story of its supervising engineer and creator Lt.Col. John By, as well as insights into its operations and construction. The book contains dozens of full-color photos of the canal as it looks today and historical paintings from the time of its building.
Author Paul Schliesmann is an award-winning newspaper reporter who has lived on the Rideau for 30 years.
