Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Royal Military Canal, Romney Marsh, Kent. The Royal Military Canal ran between Hythe and Rye and was completed in 1809. It was built as a defensive line to guard against a threatened invasion by Napoleon. Every five hundred yards there is a kink in the canal, allowing guns mounted on the northern bank to fire along the length of the canal at anyone trying to cross.
