nl Great Ouse   een van meerdere rivieren van dezelfde naam. De Great Ouse ontspringt bij Syresham in het zuiden van Northamptonshire en mondt uit in de Wash na 230 km. Kanalisering begon al 1618 en 1689 bereikte de scheepvaart Bedford. Terwijl Kings Lynn als haven werd uitgebouwd, ging het verkeer op de rivier dankzij de spoor achteruit. Weliswaar werd de rivier voor het verkeer als vervallen verklaard maar in de jaren 1925 tot 1959 vondt er nog steeds vervoer van bieten plaats. Het laatste bedrijfsmatige transport in 1974 werd 1978 gevolgd door de pleziervaart, die al sinds het begin van de 20e eeuw op de Great Ouse werd geregistreerd. River Great Ouse - Google Earth
de Great Ouse einer von mehreren Flüssen gleichen Namens. Die Great Ouse entspringt bei Syresham in Süd-Northamptonshire und mündet nach 230 km in den Wash. Die Kanalisierung begann schon 1618, 1689 erreichte die Schiffahrt Bedford. Während sich Kings Lynn als Hafen entwickelte, stagnierte die Schiffahrt mit dem Aufkommen der Eisenbahn. Obwohl die Schiffahrt 1870 für eingestellt erklärt wurde, verzeichnet man zwischen 1925 und 1959 weiterhin den Transport von Zuckerrüben. Auf den letzten gewerblichen Transport 1974 folgte die Freizeitschiffahrt, die seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts auf der Great Ouse stattgefunden hatte und 1978 wiederaufgenommen werden konnte.
en Great Ouse one of several rivers of the same name. The Great Ouse rises near Syresham in south Northamptonshire to flow into the Wash after 143 miles. Locks and sluices had been built as early as 1618, 1689 navigation reached Bedford. While Kings Lynn developed as a port navigation declined with the coming of the railway. Although navigation was declared to be derelict in the 1870s there was considerable traffic of sugar beet in the years 1925-1959. The last commercial transport in 1974 was followed by pleasure boating. Having taken place on the river already in the beginning of the 20th century it was taken up again in 1978.
