Description
An account of the resource
CANAL PHOTOGRAPHS NOTE: Some photographs were physically labelled incorrectly as some did not count the tidal lock as “Lock #1.” These typed descriptions have been correctly labelled to account for the tidal lock as “Lock #1” as clarified by Susan Taylor, Executive Director of the Friends of the Delaware Canal (2019).
ADDITIONAL NOTE: More clarifications were provided by Martha Capwell-Fox, Historian and Archives Coordinator at the National Canal Museum (2020). These have been added as quotes to their respected photos.
