Dresden Island Lock
7583 Lock Road, Channahon, IL 60450, United States of America
Dresden Island Lock is one of many locks on the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905.
Early plans of what would become the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) were drawn up by George Jones in 1888 but problems with Reading Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cheltenham. In his autobiography Thomas Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
