Additional Description: The Cornwall Canal remained in use for over 100 years. It consisted of a series of locks which carried boats 18.5 kilometers around the rapids. It was upgraded in 1881 with a new entrance and later a drydock facility. Power drawn from the canal attracted textile and paper mills. The canal was an important shipping centre until the completion of the seaway in 1959.
