About Port of Newry

Also known as: Newry Canal

This port is located on the Newry Canal in Northern Ireland. It historically served as a terminus for vessels transporting goods from the Tyrone coalfields to the Irish Sea.

Background

The navigable route ran from Lough Neagh via the Upper Bann river to Portadown, then approximately 20 miles from Portadown via the canal proper to Newry, terminating in the Albert Basin.
