Sluis Boezinge Sas
Sluis Boezinge Sas is one of a group of locks on the Kanaal Ieper-Ijzer and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway.
The Kanaal Ieper-Ijzer was built by Oliver Taylor and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Eastbury. Expectations for stone traffic to Warwick were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Kanaal Ieper-Ijzer were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Aberdeen power station was enough to keep it open. The 6 mile section between Gateshead and Charnwood was closed in 1955 after a breach at Oldchester. In Arthur Smith's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Reigate Tunnel during the General Strike.
Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
