The headline that day provided a quick synopsis of what happened, “Break at Lock 18 – 200 Feet of Bank Carried into the River – Collapse of the O. & N. Y. Draw Bridge.”

Freeholder at 175: The day the bank gave way, and the bridge fell Back to video
Considered the “worst break in the history of the Cornwall canal,” a large slice of the south bank above Lock 18 washed out into the river. This caused the swing bridge of the Ottawa & New York Railway (which crossed the canal at that section) to collapse into the water.
