Summary
| Description |
English: Violette's Lock (No 23, on right) with Guard Lock #2 (on left) on Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The NPS site (http://www.hscl.cr.nps.gov/insidenps/report.asp?STATE=&PARK=CHOH&STRUCTURE=&SORT=&RECORDNO=183) says: Built in 1830, Lock 23 has an 8'6" lift and is 90' -11" long. It had a masonry bypass on either side of the upper lock pocket with 3 outlets into the lock below. It is constructed of smoothly cut and evenly coursed Seneca red sandstone, unlike the Inlet Lock’s rough cut and coursed stone. At some point, Lock 23 was raised 40’ at the upper end to protect the canal below from high water (as was Inlet Lock 2). The lower lock gates were replaced by NPS with modern replicas; there are no upper gates. A modern vehicular bridge is located at mid-lock. |
