Dukart’s Canal was built to provide transport for coal from the Drumglass Colleries to the Coalisland Canal in Tyrone Northern Ireland. It opened in 1777 and used three inclined planes rather than locks to cope with changes in level. There is little evidence that it was ever used as the planes could not be made to work properly and they were dismantled in 1787.
