Saimaan kanava
From the series “Greatest Man-Made Waterways and Channels”
The Saimaa Canal links Finland and Russia. In contrast to its modest origins, the canal has been a world famous object for over a 150 years. The idea to build a canal that would connect Lake Saimaa with the Gulf of Finland appeared in the 16th century, but the construction work had been deferred for an indefinite period.
Only in 1845 the ambitious project was launched. Its official opening took place11 years later and happened to fall on the day of the Emperor Alexander II. The canal has a length of 57300 metres.
