Afleidingskanaal van de Leie
Early plans of what would become the Afleidingskanaal van de Leie were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Plymouth Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. The Afleidingskanaal van de Leie was closed in 1905 when Oldworth Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when William Wood painted a mural of Eastleigh Locks on the side of Oliver Smith's house.
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.
