Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States

If this man-made waterway did not exist, you would have to sail an extra 100 miles to reach the end of the Cape.
Opened in 1914, this 17-mile canal is frequently filled with a flotilla of small pleasure boats, ships, trawlers and tankers.
The two steel bridges that span the canal, the Sagamore and Bourne bridges, are actually owned and operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and are the Cape's only link by road to the mainland.
As you glide down this waterway, keep an eye out for the town of Buzzards Bay which grew up on the banks of the canal after it opened.
