		The Kennet and Avon canal, which passes through Avoncliff is one of the most splendid lengths of artificial waterway in Britain and is a fitting memorial to the canal age as a whole.
		The canal flourished until the coming of the railway - in fact it benefited for a time, when the railway was being built, for much of the material needed was carried on the canal.
		In 1962 control of the canal was vested in the British Waterways Board and efforts to re-open the canal were revived; the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust was formed out of the Association and practical steps towards restoration were under way.

		In 459 the Corinthians, in common with their former rivals the Aeginetans, made war upon Athens, but lost both by sea and land.
		In 395 the domineering attitude of Sparta impelled the Corinthians to conclude an alliance with Argos which they had previously contemplated on occasions of friction with the former city, as well as with Thebes and with Athens, whose commercial rivalry they no longer dreaded.
		In the ensuing Corinthian War the city suffered severely, and the war-party only maintained itself by the help of an Argive garrison and a formal annexation to Argos.

	THE CORINTHIA IN THE ROMAN PERIOD; The Isthmian Games and the sanctuary of Poseidon
		Corinthian presidency was not necessarily linked to a venue at the Isthmian Sanctuary of Poseidon.
		We can now say, on the basis of the coins, that it is very probable the Corinthians were in control of the games by the time of their celebration in 40 B.C. It is unlikely that the city would have advertised a festival held by the Sicyonians.
		Apparently, large crowds did not gather there, and the restricted temenos may be an indication that the central part of the sanctuary retained a largely symbolic function, while the majority of activities connected with the games took place in and around the later stadium, theater, bath, and possibly other buildings not yet located.

		It was fifty cubits high and forty wide, and its gates of Corinthian brass, carved and covered with plates of gold and silver, were so heavy that twenty men were required to move it.
		From the side towards the city the entrance to the sanctuary was made through several gates of surpassing beauty, four on the west of the esplanade, two on the south, one on the east, and one on the north.

	Travel Outward: Crossing the Continental Divide: The Building of the Panama Canal
		The Suez Canal is in the flat desert where dredging at sea level was significantly easier than having to cross a small mountain range--as in Central America; plus the arid environment there was much more manageable that the damp, overgrown Caribbean jungle the French faced in Panama.
		The canal is built with three all-together steps up at the Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side, and one- and two-step locks on the Pacific side, with the mile-long Miraflores Lake in between.
		While operating the trains is obviously expensive, it is cheaper than having to constantly repair the canal, not to mention damage to the ships, and using bumpers, such as you see elsewhere, would strain the system by reducing the already precious width of the canal.

	Corinth Canal and Diolkos
		Hence, in ancient days already, people envisaged cutting a canal across the Isthmus, so as to link the two Gulfs permanently and make it possible for all ships at all times to avoid the dangerous journey past Cape Maleas, off South Peloponnese.
		It was Emperor Nero who first attempted to cut a canal through the Isthmus.
		Immediately after the liberation of Greece in the first half of the 19th century, the canal project was revived under Kapodistrias.

		One of the most entertaining aspects of the canal was the submersible bridge right by the restaurant where we ate lunch.
		We actually got to watch as the bridge was lowered beneath the waters of the canal to allow past one small tourist boat and then a tanker being pulled by a tug boat.
		Between our first view of the canal from a bridge across it and our lunch stop, we visited the site of the ancient port of Cenchreae from which Paul had set sail for Ephesus.

		Recently when the men who were building the Suez Canal were completed with that project, they built the Corinthian canal, and today you'll find that there is a canal connecting the Aegean Sea with the Adriatic Sea.
		This Corinthian canal is operable today and the ships are able to save a lot of time by avoiding the trip around the southern end of Greece.
		Thus the phrase, "he lives like a Corinthian" became a part of their vernacular to describe a man who was always drunk and living in open debauchery.

		The possibility of digging α canal through the Isthmus had, of course, been considered by the ancient Greeks.
		The canal we see today was built in 1882-1893 by Greek and French engineers using the most advanced machinery of the day.
		The canal is crossed by road and railway bridges, while communications between Central Greece and the Peloponnese are also served by two 'ferries' in the form of submersible bridges, one at either end (Poseidonia and Isthmia).
