Long Island 1845
Long Island; ca. 1845
John Burrows, watercolour over pencil
(Archives of Ontario - from Passfield, 1982)

This painting shows flight of three locks at Long Island and the stone arch dam. The bridge and weir across the channel in Nichols Island was built in 1836, replacing the original weir at the entrance to the channel that was swept away by flood waters. The lockmaster’s house overlooks the locks, and the buildings on the left belong to the village of Long Island.
