Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation Company founded in 1792

[edit]

I would propose adding in the material from the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation Company founded in 1792. It was the unsuccessful predecessor to the Union canal. Cheers Risk Engineer (talk) 21:52, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Roman canal and some other problems

[edit]

There was a canal between Rome and Portus in Roman times. Also, the Fossa Carolina is billed as the first artificial European canal but Roman canals were already built in Europe. I believe that "post Roman" or some other indication is in order.104.181.247.245 (talk) 23:03, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to Britain for canal age?

[edit]

The British canal age is probably the most significant as it was part of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. It looks as if all British info has been vandalized here. I'm a Yank and get tired of the Brit centric stuff where it shouldn't be, but canals are VERY much a Brit thing.104.181.247.245 (talk) 23:08, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the title of this article is confusing. The article is almost entirely about the Canal age in the US.

North American canal age?

[edit]

This would be a more appropriate name for this article, unless it is expanded to include other countries (an article exists for Britain). Does anyone object to this proposal? Rwood128 (talk) 15:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. QuincyMorgan (talk) 16:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
QuincyMorgan, the article was conceived to include the world: [1]. I therefore suggest that a new article North American Canal Age be created, using most of the current article, and leave Canal Age as a stub. Rwood128 (talk) 13:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not against a stub. QuincyMorgan (talk) 20:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
