About: Ulster Canal

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Ulster Canal is a canal running through part of County Armagh, County Tyrone and County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland. The Ulster Canal was built between 1825 and 1842 and was 74 km (46 mi) long with 26 locks. It ran from Charlemont on the River Blackwater to near Wattlebridge on the Finn River, south-east of Upper Lough Erne. It was an ill-considered venture, with the locks built narrower than the other Irish waterways, preventing through trade, and an inadequate water supply. It was an abject failure commercially, and contributed to the collapse of the Lagan Navigation Company, who took it over from the government but were then refused permission to abandon it when they could not afford the maintenance costs. It finally closed in 1931. W

dbo:abstract
  • El canal del Ulster es un canal en desuso que atraviesa parte de los condados de Armagh, Tyrone y Fermanagh, en Irlanda del Norte, y el condado de Monaghan, en la República de Irlanda. A principios del siglo XIX, la gran idea de unir las tierras bajas alrededor de Lough Neagh con la cuenca del Erne y el sistema del río Shannon se hizo popular entre los terratenientes y comerciantes más progresistas de Armagh, Monaghan y Fermanagh. El canal del Ulster se construyó entre 1825 y 1842 y tenía 74 km de longitud con 26 esclusas. Iba desde Charlotte, en el río Blackwater, hasta Wattle Bridge, en el río Finn, al sureste del Alto Lough Erne. Fue una empresa poco meditada, con esclusas más estrechas que las de otras vías navegables irlandesas, lo que impedía el comercio de paso, y un suministro de agua inadecuado. Fue un fracaso absoluto desde el punto de vista comercial y contribuyó a la quiebra de la Lagan Navigation Company, que se hizo cargo de ella, pero a la que se le denegó el permiso para abandonarla al no poder hacer frente a los costes de mantenimiento. Finalmente, cerró en 1931. Waterways Ireland empezó a reconstruir el canal en su extremo sur en 2015. (es)
