Excerpt from Dimensions to Be Given to Maritime Canals (Technical Point of View, Probable Dimensions of the Sea-Going Vessels of the Future): General Report The author points out how of necessity a canal of small dimensions would exclude the large vessels and gives a summary of the vessels which entered the port of Antwerp in 1910. Of the total number, he says that only had a draught of meters. He believes that in the maritime canal which extends inland from the sea that a depth of meters ft) under the keel would be adequate and that the minimum navigable depth in such a canal should be to meters. The ratio of the sectional area of the submerged part of the vessel in a canal and the water in which it floats he places at 4 to 5, using in his estimate of required minimum canal width the factor For 3 on 1 bank slopes the bottom width should be 129 feet meters). The author refers to the satisfactory results, on the canal from Ghent to Terneuzen, of the facing of the banks with timber work immediately below the water line. He considers that prudence demands that any canal constructed to meet only the demands of the present and of the near future should be so constructed that it will permit of future enlargement.
