Looking ESE from Portland Canal at 18th St. overlook.
<p>The overlook was <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bill_alden/6609394797/">built in 1998-1999</a> atop an old bridge pier dating back to 1856 (see <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/Portals/64/docs/Ops/Navigation/TriumphAtTheFalls.pdf">(PDF)</a>, p. 98).
In 1856, the canal was less than 100 feet wide. It has since been widened to 500 feet.
In distance, towboat "Edith Tripp" is downbound after passing under lift span of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Street_Bridge_(Ohio_River)" class="extiw" title="w:Fourteenth Street Bridge (Ohio River)">L&amp;I Bridge</a>.
