In December 2009 and January 2010 I did some explorations along the route of the Morris Canal in Jersey City and took lots of pictures. A lot of it was based on an unplublished manuscript by Ron Rice and Harry Augenblick. In December of 2011 I went back to the Lock 21E site and did an exploration in the Greenville section of Jersey City, where part of the Morris Canal right-of-way still exists. More about the Morris Canal can be found on the CSNJ website: http://www.canalsocietynj.org/
Routes 1&9 bridge across the Hackensack, looking west towards Kearny. The Morris Canal crossed the river at this spot.
