For Chesapeake Bay Week, Maryland Public Television (MPT) will air its special show on the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal on April 22 at 9 pm.
Here is the MPT preview about “The little-known but fascinating story of the Chesapeake and Delaware 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.”
