Twigg's Lock No 69
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Oldtown, Allegany County, MD 26722, United States of America
Twigg's Lock No 69 is one of a group of locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal just past the junction with The Macclesfield 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.
