Can you notice what's wrong with Wigan council's information here?

"In 1742 the River Douglas was canalised from its junction with the Mersey up to Mirey Lane
End in Wigan, following an Act of Parliament of 1720. The canalised river, known as the
Douglas Navigation, had some 13 locks along its length. The river was used to transport coal
from Wigan down to the Mersey and from there upriver to Manchester or downriver to Liverpool. "
