Lander Lock No 29

 
Also known as: Catoctin Lock No 29
Lock 29, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Lander, Frederick County, MD 21777, United States of America
 

Lander Lock No 29 is one of a group of locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and unusually has only single top and bottom gates three miles from Longton.

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.
