Are Beardstown and Sangamon Canal and Corpus Christi Ship Channel in the same state ?
Beardstown and Sangamon Canal The Beardstown and Sangamon Canal was a canal plan developed in the mid-1830s, with avid backing by Abraham Lincoln, then an Illinois state legislator, to make large portions of the Sangamon River between Springfield, Illinois, and Beardstown, Illinois, navigable via a canal to the junction with the Illinois River, which in turn flows into the Mississippi River.
Josephine (shipwreck) Josephine was an American iron-hull, sidewheel steamer that transported mail, freight, and passengers, in the Gulf of Mexico, mainly between New Orleans, Louisiana and Galveston, Texas, beginning in 1868. In 1881, the "Josephine" was transferred to the New Orleans – Havana route. Returning from Havana in February 1881, the "Josephine" encountered a winter storm in the Gulf of Mexico, south of Biloxi, Mississippi, took on water and sank, but all passengers and crew survived. In 2000, the "Josephine" shipwreck was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
