The Hamilton Canal (also known as the Dutch Canal) is a 14.5 km (9.0 mi) canal in Sri Lanka that connects Puttalam to Colombo through Negombo. The canal was built by the British in 1802 and finished in 1804. Its purpose was to remove saline water from the Muthurajawela marshes. Gavin Hamilton, the Government Agent of Revenue and Commerce, inspired the canal's name.
