Ecluse 12 Vanneaux 
Ecluse 12 Vanneaux is one of some locks on the Canal Latéral à la Loire (Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway.
Early plans of what would become the Canal Latéral à la Loire (Main Line) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1782 but problems with Tendring Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. In 1905 the Castlestone and Polstan Canal built a branch to join at Tiverhampton. Expectations for limestone traffic to Barfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Canal Latéral à la Loire (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Poole power station was enough to keep it open. The four mile section between Dundee and Cambridge was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wokingham. In his autobiography Nicholas Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor). Mooring for about three boats at the Port (Sept 2014). It is privately owned by boatyard who charge for all services.
