Prinses Margrietkanaal
Friesland, Netherlands
The Prinses Margriet Canal (Prinses Margrietkanaal) is a canal in Friesland, Netherlands. It is now part of the Lemmer–Delfzijl Waterway, that forms an inland connection between Rotterdam and northern Germany. The canal was constructed in the interests of Groningen and the ports of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. It was effectively paid for by the Dutch state and Groningen province. Friesland initially opposed the construction, leading to severe delays.
