	Canal (waterway) - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Canals date from a period long before the Christian era and served as means of navigation and communication for the Assyrians, Egyptians, Hindus, and Chinese.
		The remains of a canal near Mandalī, Iraq, date from about 4000 bc; the 1,900 km (1,200 mi) Grand Canal of China, connecting Beijing and Hangzhou, was constructed over a long period of time, largely in the 7th and 13th centuries AD, and is still in use.
		The construction of the Erie Canal, started in 1817, marked the beginning of an era of canal building, which produced an aggregate of more than 7242 km (4500 mi) of canals (mostly in the Middle Atlantic and Central states) and was largely responsible for opening the American Midwest to settlement.

	Canal (waterway) - MSN Encarta
		Canal (waterway), artificial waterway constructed for purposes of irrigation, drainage, or navigation, or in connection with a hydroelectric dam.
		The sides of the cut are often faced with masonry to prevent erosion of the banks by the wash of passing vessels and the subsequent blocking of the channel by a buildup of silt.
		In a lift the vessel is floated into a movable tank from one reach, water gates are closed, and the tank with the floating vessel is raised or lowered to the level of the next reach.

		ERIE CANAL, (q.v.), started in 1817, marked the beginning of an era of canal building, which produced an aggregate of more than 7242 km (4500 mi) of canals (mostly in the Middle Atlantic and Central states) and was largely responsible for opening the American Midwest to settlement.
		With the advent of power machinery, this practice has been largely discarded in favor of canalization of the river itself; that is, a river may be dredged at unnavigable points and provided with dams and bypass locks that control the level of the river from end to end.
		Ship canals are generally of two kinds: those that connect two lakes or oceans, such as the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, and those that link an inland port to the ocean, such as the Manchester Ship Canal and the Houston Ship Channel.

		I say modest because hiking the tow path (called track in Ireland) of the Grand Canal is not the same as climbing the rocky face of the Cliff of Glencar or even hiking across the Syrian Desert where a missed water hole would leave one's bones to bleach in those shimmering rays.
		Much of the emigration was probably to the west of Ireland, but during the famine years most was by way of the Barrow branch to Waterford, or by way of the Shannon branch to America.
		When one considered the muddy state of the roads in 1798 and the necessity of bringing a huge army plus heavy artillery across Ireland, then the swift transport of Cornwallis's army along the canal was clearly a major factor in the defeat of the French and Irish and in the capture of Wolfe Tone.
