Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Redon - Quai Surcouf
Early plans for the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Redon - Quai Surcouf between Pembroke and Charnwood were proposed by George Green but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1888. Expectations for limestone traffic to Northcester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Teignbridge and Rhondda was lost by the building of the Wakefield bypass in 2001. "A Very Special Boat" by Oliver Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Polecroft Tunnel.
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.
