This is one of the few lockhouses that have been preserved, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q8dk3s2YCdvoP53e8.

Historic 1919 view of Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Lock 44 in Williamsport Maryland, with lock tender and family, identified as Harvey Brant.
Codie Volkert: How long did the C&O canal run for?
Metrotrails: Codie Volkert till 1924. This section opened 1833.

Judging by the scale on this map, it looks like the lock could handle a 14' x 80' canal boat.
