roal and the canal on the Maryland side.
for transporta ton TO this city or other
points.
After being completed at this city the
lighter was taken up the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal to point near where il was
TO be used. With pullies and levers it
was taken from the canal and across
the bank to the river, where 1t was
launched. The cable with which il was
to be operated was strung across the
