Also on this date in 1959, the St. Lawrence Seaway opened passage from saltwater to the Great Lakes, liberating millions of lampreys and zebra mussels into new domains.

Was that a good thing or a bad one (liberation of the eels and mussels, I mean)?

Bad. They are invasive as heck.

Definitely a bad thing. The lampreys nearly wiped out the lake trout and zebra mussels are clogging up everything.
