As early as the sixteenth century, the renowned Bishop Brask in Linköping proposed a canal across Sweden from the Baltic to the North Sea.
In 1806, Count BaltzarvonPlaten, naval officer and government minister, produced a treatise on canals and was later asked to submit a plan for the Göta Canal.
Sadly, BaltzarvonPlaten did not live to see the crowning of his masterpiece, having died three years earlier.
