| Brewer's Lower Mill; Masonry of the Lock nearly completed, Excavation for the Canal in progress, 1831-32 Thomas Burrowes, watercolour (Archives of Ontario - from Passfield, 1982) |
| The lock, constructed “in the dry” in the canal cut is almost complete. A coffer dam at the lower end keeps the water from the original channel of the Cataraqui River out of the works. At the head of the former channel a waste weir has been constructed to control the level of water above the lock. On the right side, labourers are hand dredging the riverbank to provide a direct navigation entrance to the lock. |
