SHFC011: An artist's impression of the waterfront at Cardinal.

The Canada Starch Works began operating in 1860 with waterwheels grinding corn. The water came down a man made channel, or flume, from beside Lock 26 which was completed in 1846. This view shows one of the early versions of the grain elevator located on the Junction Canal which ran along the north shore of the river from Lock 25 at Iroquois to Lock 26 at Cardinal
