There is an incredible amount of history revealed on the GL.
The founding settlers from many different cultures established cities along the coastlines, especially where rivers spilling into the sea provided protection from storms and hostile raiders. Their imprint is still found among the people, architecture and cuisine found in these cities.
There were four wars fought around the GL, including along the ICWs, the Saint Lawrence, the Great Lakes and the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers. The battlefields, museums, historic homes and parks tell the story of our country in great detail.
Besides the cruising experience, you can get your Phd in American History as you go.
