| - Het kanaal Portsmouth-Arundel was een kanaal in het zuiden van Engeland dat de steden Portsmouth en Arundel met elkaar verbond. Het kanaal werd door de Portsmouth & Arundel Navigation Company aangelegd en in 1823 opengesteld. Het kanaal was nooit een groot succes en in 1885 werd het buiten gebruik genomen. De kanaalmaatschappij werd in 1892 geliquideerd. Het kanaal was onderdeel van een groter plan om een binnenlandse vaarroute van mogelijk te maken. Zodoende kon men tussen de twee steden reizen zonder over zee via Het Kanaal te varen, waar vijandelijke schepen konden varen of natuurrampen konden plaatsvinden. (nl)
