| Date taken - 01 Jan 1881
Reading the old plaque (2nd photo) you can see that construction started in 1854 and continued until 1856. Then a hiatus until 1865 when construction was renewed and the canal completed in 1869. Since 1869 the canal was twice enlarged (i.e. at the time the plaque was posted). So photo number three is evidently one of enlargement in 1880-1881.
