It also made a shorter route for boats from the anthracite coal fields of eastern Pennsylvania to reach New York City. The canal reached from the Raritan River at New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey to the Delaware River at Trenton, Mercer, New Jersey, and then along the Delaware River to Bordentown, Burlington, New Jersey. One feeder canal stretched from Trenton northwest to Frenchtown, Hunterdon, New Jersey. The main canal from New Brunswick to Bordentown was 44 miles (71 km) long; with the feeder canals the total was 66 miles (107 km) long.[1] |
