travels on oswego canal in new york


The Oswego River, north of Syracuse, NY, is part of the Erie Canal System. Lock #1 is in the little village of Phoenix, which burned almost into extinction in an industrial fire gone out of control in 1916. It has never really recovered, despite its name, which came from one Alexander Phoenix, an early landowner here.
