Martinière Lock
Highlight • Other
Proposed by engineer Adolphe Radiguel in 1861 to allow transatlantic ships to reach Nantes, the canal is operational in 1892 after 10 years of pharaonic work. Some of the machinery and equipment was previously used for the construction of the Suez Canal.
Three major structures are built for the lock's operating system: the Martinière (in the east), the Carnet (in the west) and the Champs-Neufs half way along the canal. The latter was also equipped with a siphon, allowing a differentiated water regulation between the moats of Vue marshes and those of the canal itself. Two "boat parks" allow large vessels to cross at the "Teignouse" in Pellerin, and between Roche and Carnet Frossay.
The canal has an intense period of activity with the great navigation which lasts 20 years until 1913, with approximately 10,000 passages during these 20 years, then the fluvial watercraft circulates until 1943. It becomes a cemetery of the tall ships between 1921 and 1927. During the Second World War, the Germans occupy it, then the Americans, from 1957 to 1967, will stock NATO material there. The sea canal is closed to navigation in 1959.
In the 1960s, the canal became the hydraulic control tool of the Pays de Retz. Its devastation began in the 1990s, using small dredges. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_de_la_Martini%C3%A8re
