question: The CSS Bombshell was a steamer on the second largest canal, which was completed in what year?
answer: 1825
context: Title: Chasewater
  Passage: Chasewater is a reservoir located in the parish of Burntwood and the district of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England.  Originally known as Norton Pool and Cannock Chase Reservoir, it was created as a canal feeder reservoir in 1797.  The reservoir was created to directly supply the Wyrley and Essington Canal and maintain levels in the 160-mile Birmingham Canal Network.  During a period of great industrial growth in the Black Country region the maintenance of water levels in canal infrastructure was essential and Chasewater was in great demand.  As canals became less essential for transport of goods during the mid-20th century, the reservoir diversified and became a popular public amenity with activities such as water-skiing, sailing, wakeboarding and cycling.  Chasewater is the third largest reservoir by volume in the county of Staffordshire and the largest canal feeder reservoir in the West Midlands.
  Title: Charles Carroll Simms
  Passage: Charles Carroll Simms (1824–1884) a native of Virginia, became a United States Navy midshipman in 1839.  He served in the U.S. Navy for more than two decades, achieving the rank of Lieutenant in 1854.  He was dismissed from the service in April 1861, after his state left the United States, and briefly was an officer in Virginia's Navy.  Commissioned as a First Lieutenant in the Confederate States Navy in June 1861, during that year he commanded the steamer CSS "George Page" and was assigned to the steamer CSS "Rappahannock".  Also commanded CSS Appomattox in coastal North Carolina until it was scuttled in February 1862.  As an officer of the ironclad CSS "Virginia", he took part in her March–May 1862 actions in the vicinity of Hampton Roads.  Subsequently, he served in the gunboats CSS "Nansemond" on the James River, and CSS "Selma" in Mobile Bay.  During the American Civil War's final year, while assigned to the Mobile Squadron, he commanded the ironclads CSS "Baltic" and CSS "Nashville".  First Lieutenant Simms surrendered to Federal forces in early May 1865 and was paroled soon afterwards.
  Title: CSS Bombshell
  Passage: CSS Bombshell — believed to have been an Erie Canal steamer — was a U.S. Army transport.  "Bombshell" was sunk by the Confederate batteries in Albemarle Sound, North Carolina on April 18, 1864.  She was raised by the Confederate forces and taken into the Confederate States Navy under the command of Lieutenant Albert Gallatin Hudgins, CSN.  "Bombshell" was captured at the Battle of Albemarle Sound by USS "Mattabesett" and USS "Sassacus" on May 5, 1864 and sent to New York City.
  Title: Erie Canal
  Passage: The Erie Canal is a canal in New York that is part of the east–west, cross-state route of the New York State Canal System (formerly known as the New York State Barge Canal).  Originally, it ran 363 mi from Albany, on the Hudson River, to Buffalo, at Lake Erie.  It was built to create a navigable water route from New York City and the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.  When completed in 1825, it was the second longest canal in the world (after the Grand Canal in China) and greatly affected the development and economy of New York, New York City, and the United States.
  Title: USS Oneida (1861)
  Passage: The second USS "Oneida" was a screw sloop-of-war in the United States Navy.  During the Civil War, she destroyed the CSS "Governor Moore" and served in blockade operations.  She was attached to the Asiatic Squadron from 1867–1870.  She sank in 1870 outside Yokohama, Japan after collision with the British steamer "Bombay".  The Court of Inquiry found the officers of "Oneida" were responsible for the collision.  "Bombay's" captain was blamed for not staying at the scene to render assistance - a decision that caused some controversy.  Japanese fishing boats saved 61 sailors but 125 men lost their lives.  The American government made no attempt to raise the wreck and sold it to a Japanese wrecking company.  The company recovered many bones from the wreck and interred them at their own expense.  The Japanese erected a memorial tablet on the grounds of Ikegami Temple in Tokyo and held a Buddhist ceremony in the sailor's memory in May 1889.

Alexander.  Her entire service was in coastal waters of North Carolina and Virginia and in the James River as part of the James River Squadron.

  Title: Indira Gandhi Canal

  Title: Magdeburg Water Bridge
  Passage: The Magdeburg Water Bridge (German: "Kanalbrücke Magdeburg" ) is a large navigable aqueduct in central Germany, located near Magdeburg.  The largest canal underbridge in Europe, it spans the river Elbe and directly connects the Mittellandkanal to the west and Elbe-Havel Canal to the east of the river, allowing large commercial ships to pass between the Rhineland and Berlin without having to descend into and then climb out of the Elbe itself.
  Title: Indiana Mammoth Internal Improvement Act
  Passage: The Indiana Mammoth Internal Improvement Act was a law passed by the Indiana General Assembly and signed by Whig Governor Noah Noble in 1836 that greatly expanded the state's program of internal improvements.  It added $10 million to spending and funded several projects, including turnpikes, canals, and later, railroads.  The following year the state economy was adversely affected by the Panic of 1837 and the overall project ended in a near total disaster for the state, which narrowly avoided total bankruptcy from the debt.  By 1841, the government could no longer make even the interest payment, and all the projects, except the largest canal, were handed over to the state's London creditors in exchange for a 50% reduction in debt.  Again in 1846, the last project was handed over for another 50% reduction in the debt.  Of the eight projects in the measure, none were completed by the state and only two were finished by the creditors who took them over.
