"After years of work and expenditure of millions of dollars by the United States Engineer Department, the Florida Intracoastal Waterway from the St. Johns River to Miami now has a channel 100 foot wide and 8 feet deep at local mean low water. It provides a broad, deep, well-marked and sheltered passage down Florida's picturesque east coast to the recreational rendezvous of the American Riviera.
