Swiss waters:
Switzerland was close to become an inland waterway nation too. There were serious plans to connect Lake of Geneva over Lake of Neuchâtel and River Aare to River Rhine. Today, the Swiss are content with some small stretches of navigable canals and rivers as well as with the many, very beautiful lakes. If you think that the poor Swiss had no link to the Sea, you’re wrong. From the ports of Basle, commercial vessels get to Rotterdam within 3 days and, if northern Italy implements their projects, there is soon a link from Ticino (Tessin) over Milano onto River Po and therewith the Adriatic Sea possible….
With 100’000 boats matriculated and not quite 8 Mio. habitants; the Swiss are on third place as far as boats /habitants are concerned.
