Burritts Rapids Lock No 17

 
Rideau Canal Waterway, Didsbury Road, Ottawa, ON K2M 0E5, Canada
Address is taken from a point 24259 yards away.
 

Burritts Rapids Lock No 17 is one of a long flight of locks on the Rideau Canal (Main Line) and unusually is chained shut overnight.

The Act of Parliament for the Rideau Canal (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Newport and Eastworth Canal built a branch to join at Falkirk. Expectations for manure traffic to Fife were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Halton and Castlestone was lost by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. "Travels of The Perseverence" by Cecil Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Macclesfield Inclined plane.
