Elbe-Lübeck Kanal
Early plans for the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal between Lisburn and Rotherham were proposed by James Brindley but languished until George Green was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. From a junction with The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal at Maidenhead the canal ran for 23 miles to Redcar. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal Society.
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.

Wikipedia has a page about Elbe-Lübeck Kanal
The Elbe–Lübeck Canal (German pronunciation ) (also known as the Elbe–Trave Canal) is an artificial waterway in eastern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It connects the rivers Elbe and Trave, creating an inland water route across the drainage divide from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea. The canal includes seven locks and runs for a length of 64 kilometres (40 mi) between the cities of Lübeck in the north and Lauenburg in the south by way of the Mölln lakes. The modern canal was built in the 1890s to replace the Stecknitz Canal, a medieval watercourse linking the same two rivers.
