Ice jam clears
A gigantic ice jam that had blocked vital Canadian grain shipments through the Great Lakes has finally ended, clearing the way for 46 waiting freighters to get through a river bottleneck. The ice had clogged throughout April in the St Clair River, a narrow but vital stretch of water linking Lake Huron with Lake St Clair, which flows through the Detroit River into Lake Erie. The ice jam froze the movement of goods and supplies on the St Lawrence Seaway, backing up delivery of grain across Canada. Rail yards were clogged with prairie grain waggons. — Windsor, Ontario.
