This report was prepared to satisfy in part the research needs for the preservation/stabilization of Aqueduct No. 2 (Monocacy) on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Eleven aqueducts were built by the canal company to span major tributaries of the Potomac River, and Aqueduct No. 2 was the longest of these. It represented a major engineering accomplishment during the 1830s. This document contains the administrative data, historical data, and recommendations. The report recommends further research of the Monocacy Basin and the major basins along the canal.
