Shepherdstown Lock No 38
Blackford's Ford, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Antietam, Washington County, MD 25443-1603, United States of America
Shepherdstown Lock No 38 is one of a long flight of locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Oldham Cutting.
The Act of Parliament for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for coal traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1990 the canal became famous when John Edwards swam through Wolverhampton Embankment in 17 minutes live on television.
