The Schuylkill Canal, or Schuylkill Navigation, was a system of interconnected canals, and slack-water pools created by dams, along the Schuylkill River in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, built as a commercial waterway in the early 19th-century. Chartered in 1815, the navigation opened in 1825, to provide transportation and water power.
