For Chesapeake Bay Week 2019, Maryland Public Television (MPT) aired a special on the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. The special aired on April 22 at 9 p.m. I was pleased to have the opportunity to assist MPT with this project by providing research assistance as the documentary crew planned the production.
Here is the MPT preview about “The little-known but fascinating story of the C & D Canal, a critically-important 14-mile long trade route used extensively by international shipping. It’s called “Baltimore’s back door” because it’s a money-saving shortcut between the port of Baltimore and points north via the Atlantic Ocean.”
