| Remarks & Notes |
| The City of Lowell, Massachusetts is laced with industrial canals, many of which date back to the early 19th century. These canals channeled water from the nearby Merrimack River to the inner city to power the textile mills that once thrived there. In this shot a trolley from the Lowell National Historical Park runs along the city's Merrimack Canal enroute to a mill that is preserved as a working exhibit. The attractive brick structure on the left side of the photo is the Moody Street Feeder Gatehouse. It houses valves that control the flow of water from the canals to underground viaducts throughout the old mill district. |
