Northern Catherine Canal
Northern Ekaterininsky Canal ((ロシア語:Cеверо-Екатерининский канал), ''Severo-Yekaterininsky Kanal''), or Catherine's Canal is an abandoned canal in the Komi Republic and Perm Krai in northern Russia, connecting the basin of the Northern Dvina with that of the Kama, a tributary of the Volga.
== History ==
The construction of the canal, named after Empress Catherine II, was started in 1785 and completed in 1822. Sixteen verst and 322 sazhen (around 18 km) long, it connected the North Keltma River ((ロシア語:Северная Кельтма)),
a tributary of the Vychegda (which in its turn flows into the Northern Dvian), with the Dzhurich River, which flows into South Keltma River ((ロシア語:Южная Кельтма)), a tributary of Kama. The canal was usable by boats up to 6,000-8,000 pood (100-130 metric tons), but was officially abandoned in 1838, just 16 years after its opening, due to little use.〔(Cеверо-Екатерининский канал ) in Brockhaus Encyclopedic Dictionary〕
It was still occasionally used by the local Komi Zyryan merchants during the spring and fall high-water seasons until the early 20th century.〔(СЕВЕРО-ЕКАТЕРИНИНСКИЙ КАНАЛ ) The Urals Historical Encyclopedia 〕
