Description
This
1967
photograph
shows
the
remnants
of
Lock
#12
of the
Hocking
Canal
,
located
north
of
Nelsonville
,
Ohio
,
near
U.S
.
Route
33
. The
Hocking
Canal
,
built
between
1829
and
1843
, was a
56-mile-long
canal
that
linked
to the
Ohio
and
Erie
Canal
at
Carroll
,
Ohio
.
Stretching
from
Carroll
to
Athens
, the
Hocking
Canal
stimulated
the
growth
of
Lancaster
,
Logan
, and
Nelsonville
, and
opened
the
Hocking
Valley
to
trade
. Its
major
exports
were
salt
,
coal
, and
iron
.
Imports
included
goods
from the
East
,
such
as
cloth
,
shoes
, and
dishes
. The
advent
of
railroads
in the
1850s
meant
the
beginning
of the
end
for
canals
. The
Hocking
Canal
was
abandoned
in
1894
. The
twelfth
lock
on the
Hocking
Canal
was
known
as the "
Sheep
Pen
Lock
.
Built
as a
guard
lock
,
it
was
intended
to
permit
slackwater
navigation
of the
Hocking
River
by
regulating
water
depths
where
river
and
canal
met
. Those
plans
were
later
abandoned
, and the
mechanism
was
converted
to a
lift
lock
,
which
raised
and
lowered
boats
as
required
by
changes
in the
canal's
elevation
.
