Rideau Canal Entrance (Kingston)

 
Confederation Basin Marina, 6 Clarence Street, Kingston, ON K7L 2Y7, Canada
Address is taken from a point 673 yards away.
 

Rideau Canal Entrance (Kingston) is on the Rideau Canal (Western Approach Route).

Early plans of what would become the Rideau Canal (Western Approach Route) were drawn up by Thomas Smith in 1888 but problems with Reigate Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Basildon. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Taunfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Dundee kept it open. The canal between Newton and Bedworth was destroyed by the building of the Neath to Tiverstone railway in 1990. Restoration of Portsmouth Boat Lift was funded by a donation from Huntingdon parish council

The Act of Parliament for the Rideau Canal (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Newport and Eastworth Canal built a branch to join at Falkirk. Expectations for manure traffic to Fife were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Halton and Castlestone was lost by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. "Travels of The Perseverence" by Cecil Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Macclesfield Inclined plane.
