If anyone really wants to know the history of the canal, stop in the visitor’s center on the Sandwich side east end of the canal. Run by the Corps of Engineers, I think. Lots of good info about the original canal and the second digging. Also about the first RR bridge and crossings. You will be pleasantly surprised. They also have the original patrol boat long retired inside for viewing. 
Too damn bad they couldn't see fit to include the old tug from the borne side! Even though it has nothing to do with the history of the ditch.
As far as the modern bottom --- I have left my share of ell skin jigs and lead over the years. No wonder the stripers and fish coming from the diitch are poisonous.  |

You all forgot the remains of the Stephen R. Jones which went aground 1000 yards east of the Bourne Bridge on June 28, 1942. During the height of the second world war. It was blasted (blown up) in place starting on July 4th 1942 and took 28 days to clear the canal by that method which was the fastest way to do it being the canal was an important defensive element in keeping shipping from going around the outer cape where German U-Boats where lurking. It's still there and is the cause of the rip behind Gallo's Ice Arena. Watch your compass when travelling over it, it will spin like mad for a minute going over all that rusted metal laying on the bottom.
