In the 19th century anthracite made up more than 90 percent of the Delaware Canal traffic, and Bristol on the Delaware River was a transshipment point feeding coal to Philadelphia. The canal has long closed; today the Bristol Borough Wharf remains on the riverbank, but no significant liner or container traffic is confirmed here. The Delaware River's major cargo terminals lie downstream at Philadelphia and Camden, with bulk and steel handled near Fairless Hills (Penn Warner Terminal). Forwarders therefore route through those facilities rather than Bristol itself.
