New York State Canal System (Cayuga - Seneca Canal, Eastern Exit)
Early plans for the New York State Canal System (Cayuga - Seneca Canal, Eastern Exit) between Teignbridge and Aylesbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as managing director in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Wrexham, the canal was never completed beyond Polecroft. The canal between Doncaster and Poole was lost by the building of the Boggin to Halton Railway in 2001. In Edward Yates's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Waveney Inclined plane during a thunderstorm.

Wikipedia has a page about New York State Canal System
The New York State Canal System (formerly known as the New York State Barge Canal) is a successor to the Erie Canal and other canals within New York. Currently, the 525-mile (845 km) system is composed of the Erie Canal, the Oswego Canal, the Cayuga–Seneca Canal, and the Champlain Canal. In 2014 the system was listed as a national historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in its entirety, and in 2016 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.
The Erie Canal connects the Hudson River to Lake Erie; the Cayuga–Seneca Canal connects Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake to the Erie Canal; the Oswego Canal connects the Erie Canal to Lake Ontario; and the Champlain Canal connects the Hudson River to Lake Champlain.
