Summary

[edit]
Description

Man stern the horse-drawn boat (tow scow) with the Dickinson Landing Lighthouse in the background.

Departs the dock behind Cook’s Tavern and takes about 15 minutes along the canal to reach the dock at the Tenant Farm where it unloads. There the tow scow loads again, turns around and returns to Cook’s Tavern. The tow scow is tethered by a rope to a horse which pulls the scow by walking along the canal path. It is not possible to get off once the ride has started.


In 1865, a lighthouse was erected at Dickinson’s Landing to mark the south side of the upper entrance to the Cornwall Canal. Known as the Cornwall Canal Lighthouse, this beacon displayed a fixed white light. While most Canadian Lighthouses were placed under the Department of Marine in 1876, Cornwall Canal Lighthouse was still in charge of the Superintendent of Public Works in 1878.

In 1906, the characteristic of the lighthouse, then known as Dickinson Landing Lighthouse, was changed from fixed white to fixed.
