NARCISSE M, CANTIN 1870-
1940
"Descended from a long line
of French-Canadian shipbuilders
Cantin was born on a nearby
farm which his grandfather
acquired about 1850. An energ-
etic entrepreneur, inventor
and cattle trader, Cantin began
work here, in 1897, on a city
named St. Joseph from which
he hoped to construct a canal
linking Lakes Huron and Erie.
Undaunted by his inability to
raise sufficient funds for this
project, he initiated and, bet-
ween 1900 and 1930, tirelessly
promoted the concept of a
Great Lakes seaway system
which would take passengers
and freight from all ocean
ports on the globe direct to all
the principal ports on the Great
Lakes."

underground reservoir which is
located just south of the fire
