Inconsistent length of original canal
editThe length is stated as being 15 nautical miles/24km/15 miles. This cannot be correct. 24km equals 15 statue miles but not 15 nautical miles. I don't know which figure is correct though. 198.91.146.105 (talk) 13:15, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
- 11.25 statute miles according to source from 1886. So all numbers are wrong? PrisonerB (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
- Template:Convert gives 15 nmi (28 km; 17 mi). This website gives a length of 18 km. Who is right? Peter Horn User talk 23:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- 11+1⁄4 miles (18.1 km; 9.8 nmi) Peter Horn User talk 23:18, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Inconsistent length of new canal
editSources do not agree on the length of the new canal. This source "Fiche descriptive: Canal de Beauharnois". www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca. Commission de toponymie du Québec. Retrieved 23 January 2018. says 20 km. And this website says 24.5 km. Fun and games for all. Peter Horn User talk 23:39, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
