Titus recollects on the old Morris Canal

In 99 years Richard Titus of Warren Street has done a lot of living and expects to do a lot more, which is why he was so pleased and excited when he was made an honorary member of the Canal Society of New Jersey.

Titus knows a thing or two about the canal, having worked on the legendary waterway for ten years in the early days of this century, four of them as captain of one of the massive cargo barges that plied the 102-mile commercial waterway.
