The group
took a cruise on the seven-mile Augusta Canal that runs from above the
Savannah River rapids into the heart of Augusta. The canal opened
in 1846 to provide transportation and waterpower during the Civil War
for the powder works, as well as for a Confederate firearms plant, ordnance
foundry, and bakery.
Today it is largely used for recreational boating and sightseeing in
modern canal boats
