In 1920 the berm side of the Conococheague Aqueduct collapsed into the Conococheague Creek. The current created by the canal water flowing over the edge of the aqueduct caused a canal boat to plunge into the creek below. The canal boat stayed in the Conococheague creek until the 1936 flood carried it under the aqueduct and down the Potomac Valley.
