		Only the smallest of boats (lighters) could fit under High Bridge in Lincoln city centre and the Foss Dyke owners were not interested in helping the river commissioners by creating a navigable passage for larger boats because they were still "unfriendly" towards the river and did not want it to steal their water.

		Under the Roman Empire several canals were constructed; one in 102 B. from the Rhone to the Mediterranean, built by Marius, and another from the Tiber to the sea, constructed under the Emperor Claudius.
		During their control of England, the Romans built two canals in that country, the Caer Dyke, and the Foss Dyke in Lincolnshire, of eleven and forty miles, respectively.
		Of the former, only the name remains but the latter is still in use as a navigable canal, having been deepened in 1121 by Henry I, and restored to a state of efficiency in 1840.

		At the west end of Nocton Delph another drain passes heading north-south, this is Car Dyke which appears to be no more significant than any other drain around these fens but it is actually one tiny part of a very significant waterway.
		When the Romans built the Foss Dyke to reach the River Trent and made the River Witham Navigable to reach the sea, they also built Car (or Caer) Dyke which linked Lincoln to the River Cam, far to the south, near Cambridge.
		The dyke at the end of this delph is once again probably the old line of Car Dyke.

		Canals first saw use during the Roman occupation of Great Britain, and were used mainly for irrigation.
		However, the Romans did create several navigable canals, such as Foss Dyke, to link rivers, enabling increased transportation inland by water.
		Great Britain's canal network was steadily increased, but grew massively in the 18th century as the demand for industrial transport increased, and new canals were constantly added until the mid-19th century.
