Abandoned lock 23 on the widened canal. There is a group based in
Rotterdam and Schenectady along with students from Union College
who are planning to restore this lock. The original canal had
22 locks between Albany and Schenectady and it was very
time consuming to get through all those locks. So a lot of
traffic used ground transportation to Schenectady and got on
boats after lock 22. Lock 23 would be the first lock encountered.
