Lock No 59 (C&O)
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Little Orleans, Allegany County, MD 21766, United States of America
Lock No 59 (C&O) is one of a long flight of locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905.
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.
