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:
“Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don’t pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother that “nice girls don’t.” He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue—but only in a certain section of society.”
—Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
