Citing M.K.Snytko "Morshansk Town", 1963:
"For the purpose of shipping the channel was burrowed to the east of the river-bed. During World war two on the channel the labours of the town had built the biggest shipping lock on the river."
Unfortunately, today the channel has lost its former importance.
