| Summary | "The Industrial Canal and Inner Harbor of New Orleans" by Thomas Ewing Dabney is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the planning, construction, and economic implications of a significant canal project designed to enhance industrial growth and commerce in New Orleans. It showcases how this engineering feat aimed to connect critical waterways and facilitate trade, ultimately positioning New Orleans as a vital industrial hub. The opening of the narrative establishes a philosophical perspective on human ingenuity and the ability to overcome natural obstacles, immersing readers in the historical context surrounding the inception of the Industrial Canal. Initially, it recounts the historical proposals dating back to the 19th century, culminating in the eventual commitment to construct the canal in the early 1900s. Dabney highlights the factors propelling this necessity, such as economic development and the challenges of securing riverfront property for industrial purposes. The narrative emphasizes community support and the collaboration among various stakeholders, ultimately setting the stage for the canal's construction, which is framed as a monumental step in New Orleans' growth trajectory.
