'The Double Lock and East Entrance to the Islington Tunnel, Regent's Canal', 1827; showing two horse drawn canal boats passing through the lock, approaching the tunnel. The Regent's Canal was built from 1812 and the Islington Tunnel, which at three quarters of a mile long (878 metres) is the longest canal tunnel in London, was completed in 1819. The first steam tug in Britain was introduced here in 1826.
