Explorers for hundreds of years hoped they would discover the Northwest Passage an all-water route leading from Europe to the Far East through the northern part of the Americas. Think how awkward that would be an ocean channel more than 3,000 miles long, snaking across the U.S. and/or Canada, making North Dakota and Saskatchewan into ports.
