The originally adopted project, 1872, was for making a channel of 9 or 10 feet draught at high water from Town Dock to a point feet above Lockwood's, which included the construction, not yet undertaken, of a tidal basin above Lockwood's.

The modification of 1873 provided for the building of feet of diking, partly on both banks, from Town Dock to the entrance, a dis tance of 1 - 1~ miles, for the better maintenance of the improved channel.

The project has since been supplemented by provision for deepening the channel from Town Dock to below Goose Island to afford 9 feet depth, mean high water. The estimated cost of the project was $136.
