Finally, there is a group of waterways comprising what may be called as
"inland" water routes, though all of them communicate with the sea. Take, for
instance, the fairways from the sea to certain important ports, such as Luleå
(depth 7’5 meters), notable for its great export of ore, Gävle (6’5 meters),
Norrköping (4’3i meters), Uddevalla (5’94 meters). Then there is the
Brandal-sund (depth 6 meters), which serves as a link of communication for the traffic
to and from Södertälje and Lake Mälaren through Södertälje Canal. Nor must
we forget in conclusion the water routes of this class which, ramifing from
Lake Mälaren to Uppsala, Enköping, Köping, Arboga, place these towns in
communication with the sea.
