Kanaal Bossuit-Kortrijk
The Act of Parliament for the Kanaal Bossuit-Kortrijk was passed on 17 September 1876 after extensive lobbying by John Smeaton. Expectations for pottery traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 9 mile section between Sheffield and Sevenoaks was closed in 1888 after a breach at Willfield. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Kanaal Bossuit-Kortrijk campaign.
The Kanaal Bossuit-Kortrijk is a commercial waterway and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 16 kilometres through 6 locks from Schelde - Bossuit-Kortrijk Verbinding (where it joins the River Schelde or Escaut (Main river)) to Kortrijk (where it joins the River Lys).
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.
