White Sea-Baltic Canal (English: Belomorsko-Baltiiskii Kanal)
A canal in northwestern Russia. It runs from the city of Belomorsk on the White Sea side through rivers and lakes, and through an artificial cut (37 km excavated) to the city of Povenets at the northern end of Lake Onega. It is 227 km long. It has 19 locks and other facilities, and the distance between St. Petersburg and Belomorsk is 4,000 km shorter than the distance traveled by going around the open sea. It transports timber, construction materials, etc. to the White Sea, contributing to the development of the north. It was completed in 1933 and was called the Stalin White Sea-Baltic Canal.
