River, 673 km (418 miles) long, which rises in Maine, USA, and forms part of the US-Canadian border before flowing across New Brunswick into the Bay of FUNDY at the port of SAINT JOHN. It is navigable for small vessels as far as FREDERICTON, New Brunswick. At Grand Falls, on the US border, the river drops 23 m (75 ft) in a great cataract and at Reversing Falls rapids, near the mouth of the river, the flow is reversed by high tides surging up the Bay of Fundy.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
