Canal du Loing
The Canal du Loing was built by William Jones and opened on 17 September 1816. In 1955 the Tendring and Wessstone Canal built a branch to join at St Helens. The 6 mile section between Wirral and Northpool was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nuneaton. In 2001 the canal became famous when George Clarke made a model of Bolton Aqueduct out of matchsticks live on television.
The Canal du Loing is a commercial waterway and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 49 kilometres through 19 locks from Seine - Loing Jonction (where it joins the River Seine - Upper Seine ) to Ecluse 36 de Buges (where it joins the Canal de Briare).
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 39.10 metres long and 5.20 metres wide. The maximum headroom is 3.50 metres. The maximum draught is 1.80 metres.
