Check out this link. It has alot of pictures. I also have a book about the history of the "Canal" that has some great constuction photos. The Cape Cod Canal by Robert H. Farson

I think alot of them can be found in a museum in Sandwich. I have been in the area all my life and have had a boat in Wareham for 35 years and the first time I heard it refered to as the Ditch was a couple of years ago on one of the fishing sites. Never by locals. This is one of my favorite pictures.

I call it "The Canal"

Sorry guys but across the USA when you refer to "The Big Ditch" it is assumed you are speaking of the Mississippi River.

I'm quoting myself ;)
