Four Locks 1 Lock No 47

 
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Four Locks, Washington County, MD 21711, United States of America
 

Four Locks 1 Lock No 47 is one of many locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal; it has a rise of only a few inches just past the junction with The Grand Western Canal.

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.
