Maas (Meuse - Beneden Maas (Lower Meuse), south side of the Barrage de Lixhe)
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.
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.
