Double image of Lock 33 near Harpers Ferry

Lock 33 near Harpers Ferry in this image is dry. It is possible that it was breached by a flood and the boats were left high and dry. There is a somewhat similar image of the canal that has been dated as after the 1889 flood. The Bollman Bridge across the Potomac is in the background.
