FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site By the 1860s the railroad had become a major competitor for moving both people and goods west. To keep up with the competition, work began on the second enlargement of the canal system. In 1903, survey work began for a new 1000 ton barge canal. The New York State Barge Canal opened in 1918 and made use of bodies of water like Onondaga Lake and Oneida Lake since the use of steam powered tugboats and steel canal boats lessened the concern for protected water travel and the need for towpaths. 74 The Old Oswego and Old Erie canal systems adjacent to Onondaga Lake were then abandoned. The new Oswego Canal connects with the Erie Barge Canal north of Onondaga Lake at Three Rivers. The Erie Barge Canal system passes through Onondaga Lake as a route to Syracuse, where a southern harbor was constructed past the southern lake outlet (Figure 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10). Figure 8. 1926 navigational chart showing the northern entrance to Onondaga Lake via the Onondaga Outlet. Barge Canal vessels could access the lake via the Seneca River, part of the Barge Canal, and through the Outlet (U.S. Lake Survey Office, New York State Canals, Erie Canal, Brewerton to Cross Lake and Syracuse and Oswego Canal, Three River Point to Oswego, 1926). 17
