Saint Mary's Strait

Saint Mary's Strait

Saint Mary's Strait (spr. Sent Mehrihs Streht), derjenige Theil im Stromgebiet des Lorenzo, welcher den Obern See mit dem Huronen See verbindet. Er beginnt im Südosten des ersteren [768] Sees, trennt Westcanada von der Halbinsel des Staates Michigan u. geht nach einem Lauf von 13 Meilen in drei Armen in den Huronen See über. Der St. Mary's Fall (Sault St. Marie, 22 F. hoch), welcher die Schifffahrtsverbindung zwischen beiden Seen unterbricht, wird durch einen Kanal umgangen.
