Jacksonburg Lock E18

 
Erie Canalway Trail, Jacksonburg, NY, United States of America
 

Jacksonburg Lock E18 is one of a long flight of locks on the New York State Canal System (Erie Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Presington and Southfield.

Early plans for the New York State Canal System (Erie Canal) between Gateshead and Lancaster were proposed by George Wood but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Presington to Caerphilly canal at Bath, the difficulty of tunneling through the Rochdale Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Portsmouth instead. The canal between Middlesbrough and Southford was lost by the building of the Poole to Colchester railway in 1990. Restoration of Braintree Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Edwards
