Ohio is state nnxt to me and it had big canal system about 1805 to 1913 ohio river had very big flood in 1913 and 1937
Its a big river they built lst navy ships here in ww2and aircraft carriers 50 miles down river from here
There are places where the river is over a mile wide or more
i have been on this ship when it was docked about 13 miles from my house on one of its river tours
