	Chichester Canal & Chichester Harbour Excursion Boats
		This was the time of "Canal Mania" elsewhere in the country, but most new canals were built as a result of the industrial revolution, to large conurbations with plentiful potential traffic.
		Due to the sparsely-populated, agricultural nature of the country served by the canal, traffic was not substantial, and the best hope of long term success for the Wey and Arun Canal appeared to be in becoming part of a main line to Portsmouth, of which the Chichester Canal would be a part.
		Whilst the canal in general was designed to accept 50 ton barges, the Chichester Ship Canal could take sea-going coasters of 100 tons through to the centre of the city.
