The Portsea Section
This section of the canal ran from Eastney lake in Langstone Harbour across Portsea Island to a basin close to what is now the Arundel street shopping precinct. This section of the canal was built to what were then small ship canal standards and could take ships of up to 150 tons.

Famous quotes containing the word section:
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
