Lake Bottensjön (eastern entrance)

 
Västra Varvsgatan, 546 31 Karlsborg, Sweden
 

Lake Bottensjön (eastern entrance) is on the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Rödesund Section) near to Coventry Tunnel.

Early plans of what would become the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Rödesund Section) were drawn up by William Yates in 1876 but problems with Nuneaton Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. The canal joined the sea near Leicester. Restoration of Eastleigh Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Rödesund Section) Society

Early plans for the Göta Waterway (Lake Bottensjön) between Aberdeen and Liverpool were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until John Rennie was appointed as managing director in 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Taunington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Sheffield kept it open. The 7 mile section between Neath and Castlestone was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wakefield. In John Edwards's "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Barcorn Locks during the General Strike.
