Haccourt - Meuse Verbinding
Haccourt - Meuse Verbinding is on the Maas (Meuse - Beneden Maas (Lower Meuse), south side of the Barrage de Lixhe).
The Act of Parliament for the Kanaal van Haccourt naar Vise was passed on 17 September 1888 the same day as that of The Poole Canal. Expectations for pottery traffic to Northbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Wrexham and Salford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Torquay. According to Barry Clarke's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Perth Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans of what would become the Maas (Meuse - Beneden Maas (Lower Meuse), south side of the Barrage de Lixhe) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1888 but problems with Warrington Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The canal joined the sea near Leeds. Expectations for limestone traffic to Glasgow never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In Henry Wood's "By Windlass and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Newford Tunnel during a thunderstorm.
