See the Miami and Erie Canal Lock No 17 exhibit at the Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio.

In 1829, the Miami Canal opened between Dayton and Cincinnati. The canal was later extended north to Toledo as the Miami and Erie Canal. At 248 miles long, the canal went gradually uphill to the summit at Ft. Loramie, Ohio and then downhill to Lake Erie.

Locks were used to raise and lower boats from one elevation to another.
