On this day in 1928, The Ohio River Lock & Dam #46 at the present day English Park officially opened and the steamer “Shawnee” was the first boat to pass through. Construction began 5 years prior in Aug 1923. With newer dams up and down river, it became obsolete and dynamite demolished the dam on Aug 28, 1975.

Is there a list of names of the lock masters?
