Rhein-Herne Kanal
Early plans of what would become the Rhein-Herne Kanal were drawn up by Oliver Taylor in 1816 but problems with Reading Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for stone traffic to Reigate never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Eastleigh power station was enough to keep it open. In Peter Smith's "Travels of The Wreck" he describes his experiences passing through Glasgow Aqueduct during the General Strike.
The Rhein-Herne Kanal is a commercial waterway and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 45.54 kilometres through 5 locks from Rhein - Rhein-Herne Kreuzung (where it joins the Rhine - (German Rhein)) to Rhein-Herne – Dortmund-Ems Kreuzung (where it joins the Dortmund–Ems Kanal).
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
