Episode Details

A calm, slow telling of a true story to help you drift off. A chain of lakes, rivers and hand-worked locks between Ottawa and Kingston. The story covers the building of the Rideau Canal under John By from 1826 to 1832, the lockstations and the people who kept them, and the steamboats, pleasure boats and winter skating that followed.

Soft rain plays throughout. No sudden sounds.
