What is the history of the Shannon Erne Waterway? The Shannon-Erne Waterway started life as the Ballinamore-Ballyconnell Canal in 1846, after four years of planning. At one stage, 7,000 men were employed on the canal, giving great relief for people in the famine years of 1846-47, except on the occasions when funds ran out.
