| 释义 |
The Voorne Canal was the first canal to connect Rotterdam to the sea. Construction of the canal started in 1826 and was completed in 1829. At inception, the canal was 8 mile long, with locks at each end. The estimated cost was ₤132,800. It was built for and suitable for sailing ships of the time, but as trade vessels got larger, it was inadequate for the larger ships.[1] The path of the canal traverses Voorne, with one end at the eastern harbor of Hellevoetsluis and the other near Heenvliet.[2] Today, the canal is a favorite spot of anglers.
