Abstract:

July was the 100th anniversary of the beginning of work on the great Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal, which went uncelebrated in Currituck County. The canal, which connects the waters of Chesapeake Bay with those of the Albemarle Sound, was begun near Coinjock in July, 1855 and proved to be an important commercial waterway for many years.
