RECORD DATE NOT STATED Germany Before the First World War 1890 - 1914 Opening of the Kiel Canal, 21 June 1895. The German Aviso SMS JAGD passes through the Holtenau Lock near Kiel. The opening ceremony spanned two days. On 20 June 1895, the German Imperial Yacht SMY HOHENZOLLERN, with Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Kaiserin on board, entered the lock at Brunsbüttel. The Kaiser cut a ribbon and officially opened this end of the Canal. The HOHENZOLLERN then led a convoy of 24 ships down the Canal to Holtenau. On 21 June, the Kaiser laid the final stone and named the new waterway the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal in a lavishly decorated ceremonial arena at Holtenau, Germany.
