The Canal latéral à l'Oise is a canal in northern France that, along with the River Oise, connects the Canal de Saint-Quentin at Chauny to the Seine at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. [1] The path is made up of the canal and the canalized River Oise. When a canal has the word latéral as part of its name, the canal follows the path of the river it is named after but is in a separate bed. When a river is canalized, locks have been placed in the bed of the river so that the river acts as a canal. So, the

The Panama Canal. A ship canal is a canal especially constructed to carry ocean-going ships, as opposed to barges. Ship canals can be enlarged barge canals, canalized or channelized rivers, or canals especially constructed from the start to accommodate ships. For a canal to qualify as a ship canal, it must have a minimum depth of at least 5 metres (16.4 feet)[clarification needed], although many are much deeper. The purpose of a ship canal is: 1. To create a shortcut and avoid lengthy detours. 2

The canal connects the Canal latéral à l'Oise at Pont-l'Évêque to the Sensée Canal at Arleux.[1] The French government, in partnership with coal-mining companies in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais regions, developed the canal to help French coal mining companies withstand foreign competition. Construction of the canal began in 1908 but halted in 1914, because of the First World War. The war caused widespread destruction of th

Decline The first suggestions that a railway should be constructed along the Tawe Valley, which would be in direct competition to the canal, were made in 1830. More serious railway proposals were made in 1845, when the Canal Company agreed to lease the canal to the Welsh Midland Railway for £4,264 per year, but the scheme foundered. Another scheme to lease the canal to the Neath and Brecon Railway for £9,000 per year in 1864 also foundered. The 1860s were a hard time for the canal, as the steel

Canals first saw use during the Roman occupation of the south of Great Britain, and were used mainly for irrigation. However, the Romans did create several navigable canals, such as Foss Dyke, to link rivers, enabling increased transportation inland by water.[1] The United Kingdom's navigable water network grew massively as the demand for industrial transport increased. The canals were key to the pace of the Industrial Revolution: roads at the time were unsuitable for large volumes of traffic. A
