You're thinking of the "St Lawrence Seaway", named after famed NY Giant football star and convicted sex offender Lawrence Taylor. Just kidding - the St Lawrence Seaway is actually named after T.E. Lawrence, the famed Lawrence of Arabia. Well, no, just kidding there too.
Actually, the Seaway, part of the St Lawrence River, was named by famed French Explorere J. Cartier after St Lawrence, a minor Catholic saint of the third Century, because he (Cartier) sailed up the river for the first time on St. Lawrence's Feast Day. The local Native Americans had other names for the river, but since they weren't Catholic, they couldn't name it after St Lawrence.
