There is some canal and waterway related content on Twitter, Pinterest,
and Reddit, but since I don't do those, you're on your own there.
By the same token, Facebook probably has more content than what I've
listed above.
Note: many canal societies have their own mailing lists.
Usenet Newsgroups
uk.rec.waterwaysnot very active
- spun off the the canals mailing list (see above)
in November 1995. Carried the same messages as the mailing list
until June 11, 1999. Independent of list since then.
uk.rec.waterways.fens,
Essentially defunct - no on-topic postings in years.
- created in January 1999, for discussions
related to the Fen waterways of the UK.

their topic area. The sites below are those devoted specifically to waterway
photographs and not by professional photographers.
