Vintage Items
Even though this procedure is repeated frequently, given the canal’s age, vintage items such as this camera are still discovered during the cleaning. It’s perplexing to consider how these items came to be at the bottom of the canal in the first place, especially given that they predate the canal’s last cleaning. People, for all we know, drop things in the canal on a regular basis, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Somehow, there are always items discovered that are older than expected.

Sentimental Discoveries
As the canal’s 90,000 cubic meters of water are drained, more and more items appear and are discovered. You’d expect to find old and filthy items, and you’d be right. There were, however, some other, more surprising discoveries. Take, for example, this stuffed animal. It appears to be relatively new, in comparison to everything else we’ve seen so far. The contrast between the almost clean stuffed animal and the grimy motorcycle beneath it is almost chilling in this picture.
