Seven Locks 3 Lock No 10

 
Lock 10, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Cabin John, Montgomery County, MD 20812, United States of America
 

Seven Locks 3 Lock No 10 is one of a long flight of locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal; it has a rise of only a few inches.

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.
