Sault Stainte Marie Canals (Sault Stainte Marie Canal)
Early plans for the Sault Stainte Marie Canals (Sault Stainte Marie Canal) between Chelmsford and Southend were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Edward Smith was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at York the canal ran for 17 miles to Lisburn. Expectations for iron traffic to Manton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Sault Stainte Marie Canals (Sault Stainte Marie Canal) was closed in 1955 when Bournemouth Tunnel collapsed. "Travels of The Wreck" by George Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Arun Inclined plane.
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 252 feet and 7 inches long and 50 feet and 6 inches wide. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is 44 feet and 3 inches.
