Historic and Inland Canals

Older canals dug for inland barge trade and for movement of goods across regions. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the waterway a historic canal or a system of interconnected canals. It excludes ocean ship canals. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Canals and Artificial Waterways subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
