Paris’s Canal Cleanup Reveals Astonishing Artifacts—You Won’t Believe What They Found!

A Story of Strength and Smarts

In the early 1800s, making the Canal Saint-Martin was a huge job. Engineers came up with a smart way to help boats go up and down a big hill: 82 feet from the River Seine to the Canal de l’Ourcq. They built nine locks and two swing bridges for this.

Thanks to their clever design, boats could easily move up and down, carrying goods through Paris. The workers used simple tools, shovels, and horses to dig out this big canal. This hard work showed how people back then could tackle big projects and get ready for what the canal would do next.
