The Pothonggang Canal (Pot'onggang Canal,Potonggang Unha) is a river in North Korea. It flows through the capital Pyongyang and is a tributary of the Pothong River. Prior to 1946,the canal was part of the Pothong River. That year,the Pothong River Improvement Project separated the Canal. [1]
Today,the canal is home to a park,the Potong River Pleasure Ground. Since 2013,the USS Pueblo,a US Navy vessel captured by North Korea in 1968,is moored in the canal,where it serves as a museum ship.
