Canal de la Sarre
Early plans for the Canal de la Sarre between Derby and Lancaster were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Wye at Newcroft the canal ran for 17 miles to Maidenhead. Expectations for stone traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. According to Peter Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Kirklees Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
The Canal de la Sarre is a commercial waterway and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 64.99 kilometres through 28 locks from Marne au Rhin - La Sarre Jonction (where it joins the Canal de la Marne au Rhin - Eastern Section) to Sarreguemines Junction (where it joins the River Sarre).
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 Canal de la Sarre
The Canal de la Sarre, originally called Canal des Houillères de la Sarre, connects the Canal de la Marne au Rhin in Gondrexange to the canalised river Sarre (German: Saar) in Sarreguemines in northeastern France. For convenience this entry covers the entire waterway in France, including the canalised river. The canal is 63 km long, and the French portion of the canalised river Sarre is 12 km long, making a total of 75 km, with respectively 28 and 2 locks.
