Was it possible to travel from St.Lawrence River to N.Atlantic...?

...ocean in the year of 1880 Canada? Research is vague for me in this.
What other (if this is not possible) way was there to travel from Pembroke to North Atlantic in the year 1880?
Thanks!

From Pembroke, you would have to take the Ottawa river to near Montreal, and the St Lawrence out to the Atlantic.

They travelled by ship..

The St Lawrence is a major route.. even from Pembroke Ontario..it took them a very long time though.

I think that the port of Montreal was the furthest that sea going ships could go up the St Lawrence then they would have either gone overland by stage/horse/walk or there were smaller boats going up the St Lawrence through the rapids at Montreal, Cornwall and other places.

I think it could easily have been done in canoe. Portage where needed and then once hitting the larger open waters move to a ship. Even the Rideau Canal was open in 1832 so the waterways have been major routes for a long time.
