Notes
  • Significance: Lock 13 was one of 14 locks in a canal totaling 65.5 miles in length, connecting the Raritan River at New Brunswick, New Jersey, to the Delaware River at Bordentown and at Raven Rock, New Jersey, facilitating navigation between New York and Philadelphia. Completed and open to navigation in 1834, the canal carried its peak traffic in 1871 and thereafter declined, succumbing to competition from the railroads. In December 1932, the canal ceased commercial operation and has since been utilized for water supply and recreational purposes. Except for a short segment in New Brunswick, which contains Lock 13, the Delaware and Raritan Canal is listed as an historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
