North Sea Canal (English: Noordzeekanaal)

Japanese: 北海運河 - ほっかいうんが(英語表記)Noordzeekanaal
North Sea Canal (English: Noordzeekanaal)
A canal in the Netherlands. It connects Amsterdam with IJmuiden on the North Sea. It is 18.8 km long. It is 15.5 m deep and 170 m wide, and can accommodate ships of 80,000 tons. It is difficult to travel from Amsterdam to the open sea through the Zuiderzee (now the IJsselmeer) due to shallow waters and strong winds, so after the Noordhollands Kanaal (79 km long) connecting Amsterdam with Helder on the north coast was opened in 1824, people relied solely on this canal.

オランダの運河。アムステルダムと北海に臨むアイマイデンIJmuidenを結ぶ。全長18.8km。水深15.5m,幅170mで,8万トンの船舶の航行が可能。アムステルダムからゾイデル海(現,アイセル湖)を通って外海へ出ることは,浅瀬や強風のために難しく,1824年に北海岸のヘルデルHelderとの間を結ぶ北ホラント運河Noordhollands Kanaal(全長79km)が開通してからは,もっぱらこれに頼っていた。
