During the late 1800s, English big game hunter, William Baillie-Grohman concocted an outlandish scheme to dig a two kilometre long canal between the headwaters of the Mighty Columbia River and the Kootenay River at Canal Flats, British Columbia.
Or was it outlandish?
Journalist Ernest Granson and Tammy Hardwick, manager of the Creston & District Museum & Archives discuss Baillie-Grohman's bizarre plan to divert water from the Kootenay into the Columbia by building a canal between the two rivers - with the consent of the Government of B.C. In the end, only three small boats managed to make it through the canal, the third becoming stuck and freed only with the help of dynamite.
