Additional information

The locks were numbered 1 to 75, including two locks with fractional numbers (63 1⁄3 and 64 2⁄3) and none numbered 65. The fractional numbering arose because locks 70–75 were completed in 1842, before locks 62 and 66. It was found that the level of the canal between locks 62 and 66 could be raised in three steps instead of four. So the additional locks through there were numbered 1 1⁄3 steps apart (62, 63 1⁄3, 64 2⁄3, and 66) so that the other locks, already completed, did not have to be renumbered.
