Spink's Ferry Lock No 27
Lock 27, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Montgomery County, MD 20842, United States of America
Spink's Ferry Lock No 27 is one of many locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal three miles from Manchester.
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.
