The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The canal, since at least 1956 belongs to Egypt. When it was first built in approximately 1869, it was a French- British company that built and for all practical purposes was "controlled" by these European powers. The canal has no locks and other constructions such as the Panama Canal. The Suez Canal was built as a straight link between the two seas. 11,000 "forced labor" Egyptians built the Canal.

It is commonly held that the first canal built in Britain was the Bridgewater Canal, commissioned by Francis Egerton, the third Duke of Bridgewater to carry coal from his mines at Worsley in Lancashire into the industrial areas of the city of Manchester. The engineer was James Brindley and it was seen as a miracle of the early industrial age. It opened in July 1761 and has its place in history as the first true canal to be built in Britain in that it did not follow an existing natural watercourse. There are counter claims that the Sankey Canal, which was also built primarily to transport coal to serve the growing Liverpool chemical industry, was actually the first but there is no doubt that it was the Bridgewater Canal, or the "Duke's Cut", was the one that inspired an era of canal building that continued until the 1830s.
