Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal
The Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal (commonly named in various ways including Willebroek Canal and Brussels-Willebroek canal), is a canal in Belgium linking Brussels with the Scheldt river and ultimately the sea. The 28 km long canal has a width of 30 m. and a draught of 2 m., and connects the cities of Brussels and Willebroek, where it joins the Rupel river in the hamlet of Klein-Willebroek. Hence previously the canal was officially known as the Brussels-Rupel Maritime Canal prior to the establishment of a direct link with the Scheldt in 1997. The canal is one of the oldest navigable canals in Belgium and indeed in Europe. History Construction work began in 1550 and lasted until 1561.

In 1531 the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
