Boston – New York City

  • The Bridges of the Cape Cod Canal

    The Cape Cod Canal is a shortcut from Boston to New York City, avoiding the dangerous shoals off Nantucket which are littered with shipwrecks. Built in 1910, the canal is crossed by 3 bridges: the Sagamore, the Bourne road bridges, and a rail lift bridge. They were all built between 1933 and 1935 during the widening of the canal and are all beautiful steel structures.

    Our last chance to spend a day in NYC for a year… We discovered an amazing waterfront run through Liberty Park and spent the rest of the day in SoHo, Hudson Yards, on the HighLine and visiting the new Penn Station.
