Canals are quite simple: they are artificial waterways built by humans to allow the passage of boats or ships inland to aid with irrigation. Some canals see massive cargo ships coming through day in and day out while others help lovers get to know a city as they ride through on a gondola. But no matter the size, every canal has an important role to play. But no two are alike, and while some may be big, some are even bigger! So join us for today's video, where we look at the top 15 biggest canals in the world!

@EASYTIGER10 Год назад

There's a lot of basic errors in this: Examples? 1) Corinth is far from the deepest canal (26ft) in the world. Panama is around 55ft and Suez is 70ft. 2) Panama Canal doesn't have locks because the Caribbean and Pacific have different levels. Its to reduce the need to excavate and reach the level of the Gatun Lake in the middle.3) The Main-Donau Kanal doesn't go via the Atlantic Ocean! Its a shame, I like these videos.

Welland canal.

@jaquigreenlees Год назад

It's not really a canal as it is more regulating depth of a river for navigation purposes. You are right in that it is an important waterway for commerce around the Great Lakes but the "Lakers" cargo ships you see on those lakes are not ocean vessels.

@wallinnb745 Год назад

@@jaquigreenlees Quite correct about the Lakers, but ocean ships could not navigate the Lachine Canal near Montréal . The construction of the St.Lawrence Seaway, a canal which does have locks to lift the ships up to the level of Lake Ontario opened the Great Lakes to ocean vessels. The Welland Canal was previously enlarged to accommodate the largest Lakers and this suited the Ocean ships. The Welland canal and locks lift ships up to Lake Erie. Today , outside of the winter freeze, Ocean ships can be seen loading grain at Thunder Bay on Lake Superior.

@marklittle8805 Год назад

@@jaquigreenlees ocean going ships can and do travel to the upper lakes including Chicago. The fact is a ship can go a good chunk of the way across the continent. And the Welland is the key since Niagara Falls basically trapped the ships to Buffalo and going to small ships on the Erie or onto railroads to NY or Montreal

Although not a canal but a series of canals connecting rivers and sounds, The ICW along the Atlantic seaboard stretches from Key West to Boston . Over 4000km + although it's not deep enough for big ships, many tug and barge traffic as well as other vessels use this waterway. It is perhaps the most travelled waterway in volume of vessels in the eastern US..

@nicolasbouyiouclis4726 Год назад

..it is true and very well known for sure.. but I thought here we are talking about "canals"

@shibuigardenbungalows0420 Год назад

@@nicolasbouyiouclis4726 yes but the waterway is connected by a series of multiple canals.. Perhaps hundreds that range from a few km to hundreds. It's these canals that connect with various rivers and sounds to create thousands of km of inland waterway. Although the commercial usage of this waterway is limited to barge traffic due to its limited depth. It still is the dominant means for coal transport to power stations throughout.

Potentially one of the most dangerous canals in the world is a little short one: the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Why dangerous? If for any reason people ever stop maintaining this thing, it would have the minor effect of allowing a lot of biological contamination between the Mississippi River drainage and the Great Lakes. The major effect that it could have would be causing the Illinois River to pirate Lake Michigan-Huron. Keep those locks in good working order, folks!

Very thin on rellevant information and in some cases totally wrong. The Panama is NOT 10,000 times shorter than the sea route (Cape Horn) but SAVES APPROX 10,000 MILES, the Suez was ORIGINALLY built by the Pharohs, the Corinth by the Ancient Greeks and Stalin`s White sea canal was constructed too shallow to be of any practical use and served only to kill thousands of POLITICAL Prisoners. More careful research needed, try telling us about projected and meaningful future (and large enough and therefore relevant to large Maritime Vessels) schemes. You got a like anyway, but even large barges are NOT ships!

@christopheb9221 Год назад

irony of telling someone to do their research. suez(red sea to mediterranean sea) was not built by the pharaohs. ancient eygpt had a canal from the nile to the bitter lakes but dont know the exact time period. actually further south there is evidence of boats being disassembled and transported to the red sea. the greeks did not build the corinth canal they had a portage(drag the ship over land) the romans tried but barely made a dent. you can tell from the images that explosives would have been used else if actually done by hand this would be a well known project like the pyramids based on how big and long the canal is.

@ptccharly Год назад

But its wrong that the locks of the Panama channel are built because of the different levels of Atlantic and Pacific. In the middle of the canal lies the gatun lake, which lies 26 +- higher than the Pacific or Atlantic and is source for the working of the locks.
