13 June 1840 - From The Niles' National Register - Information has been received from Captain Graham of the corps of topographical engineers, now on a survey of the mouth of the Suwannee, Florida, that he has discovered a deeper passage than that of either of the channels heretofore used, which saves the necessity altogether of steamers and other vessels from the military depot of Cedar Keys going to sea. This passage being entirely inland, cuts off a distance of about ten miles, principally at sea. Frequently in bad weather, the steamers supplying the army could not make their trips in consequence of this exposure; they can now pass at all times.
