Hoar's drydock in Ellenville.
Lock 31 is to the right, just out of frame.
Bill-Ellenville Lock 31-you said it was no longer extant-I disagree. What is easier ? Bulldoze dirt in and over it or take it apart with available technology. I have walked the site many times, examined the available photos and it appears that the lock is at the edge of the road and the southern edge of the Old DEYO Lumber Yard (old Ellenville Glass Works) property. The toll house was also moved a bit east by the Ellenville Chamber of Commerce and used as their HQ for several years but is not empty. Chester
Buried
My bad!
After years of me telling to add watermarks !
Canvass White found his hydraulic cement north of Chittenango, not Chenango :) Come visit our Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum, it has a restored canal boat and a 3 bay dry dock!
I'll have to swing by when I'm in the area!
French Millstones were Buhr stones made of small pieces of stone vs. the Esopus millstone made of a single stone.
I suspect much of the lumber came through the Erie Canal from forsts points west.
Fitch's was closer to the RR bridge.
Hydraulic cement 'çures' underwater, not dries. The first customer and last customer of the D+H Canal was the cement industry.
When did iron hoops replace saplings?
1890s
Bill is half on camera...obscured in the right hand corner.
