My colleague Betty has previously written about the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal built in 1828-1850. Her post inspired me to write about the Göta Kanal in Sweden, which was completed in 1832. It was originally commissioned 210 years ago tomorrow, on April 11, 1810, by a charter (Privilegiebrev) issued by the Swedish King Karl XIII (also known as Charles XIII) to Baltzar von Platen.
A travelling poster of Göta Kanal hangs in the cafeteria of the Madison building. I usually see the poster daily but have not seen it for a while, as the Law Library continues to serve you remotely.
