Canal Latéral à la Loire

The Act of Parliament for the Canal Latéral à la Loire was passed on January 1 1835 the same day as that of The Louth Navigation. The canal between Nantwich and Oldhampton was lost by the building of the Elmbridge to Sunderland railway in 1972. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Smith navigated Pembroke Aqueduct in a bathtub.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a page about Canal Latéral à la Loire

The Canal Latéral à la Loire (French pronunciation: [kanal lateʁal a la lwaʁ]) was constructed between 1827 and 1838 to connect the Canal de Briare at Briare and the Canal du Centre at Digoin, a distance of 196 kilometres (122 mi). It replaced the use of the river Loire, which was unreliable during winter floods and summer droughts. Aqueducts were used to cross the Allier at Le Guétin (in the commune of Cuffy) and the Loire at Digoin. However, because of the extreme length required, an aqueduct was not built to cross the Loire at Briare until 1896, when the Briare aqueduct was constructed.
