FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site of $25 per obstruction, and the boat was subject to seizure and sale by the canal system. 126 the disposal of a boat in the open waters of Onondaga Lake yielded no such punitive actions. However, Figure 36. Map of the southeastern portion of Onondaga Lake showing the Syracuse Maritime Historic District. 55
FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site Figure 37. 1942 navigational chart showing derelict vessels at the approximate locations of A3, A4-1, A4- 2 and A12, and the abandoned concrete breakwater (A45) and Salina Pier (A1 and A2) (U.S. Lake Survey Office, New York State Canals, Chart No. 185, 1942). The rerouting of the canal and canal laws provided an important foundation for the District’s origin, but other economic and cultural factors were also at work. From an economic point of view, the Syracuse Maritime Historic District’s formation during and just after the Great Depression is not a coincidence. The 1930s were an era of declining commerce on New York State Barge Canal System. As demand declined, many wooden vessels were abandoned rather than being kept in service. Secondly, the establishment of the Barge Canal and its vastly increased lock size signaled the end of wooden canal boats. With the replacement of wooden boats with steel-hulled vessels, the unwanted watercraft were disposed of in backwater areas all along the canal route. The final causal factor in the establishment of the Syracuse Maritime Historic District was the decline of Salina Pier and Iron Pier Resorts. Although the active use of the resorts predates the District (Salina Pier, 1870s to 1910s and Iron Pier, 1890 to 1906), their decline and abandonment were an important prerequisite for the disposal of boats in this part of the lake. The disappearance of these resorts created an area of existing neglected marine infrastructure in a shallow water area abutting vacant lands. The disposal of watercraft in this ignored, swampy area was unlikely to warrant any demands for their removal. The following description of the Syracuse Maritime Historic District contains descriptions of each of the contributing properties, followed by an assessment of the historic significance of the district. 56
