About Chesapeake And Ohio Canal
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, abbreviated as the C&O Canal and occasionally called the "Grand Old Ditch," operated from 1831 until 1924 along the Potomac River from Washington, D. C. , to Cumberland, Maryland. The canal's principal cargo was coal from the Allegheny Mountains.
