Last Canal Trip

One last view of the Welland Canal as our work will keep us in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence until closing. The other crew on the ship will bring it back into Lake Erie at the end of December.

There is a small pool between Lock 7 and the top of the flight locks at Lock 6 East (downbound) and West (upbound).

A ship waiting to go up in Lock 7 will sit at the head of Lock 6 West until the downbound ship has started making its way into the lock.

There will be another several hours before we clear the canal at Port Weller, but at least it is the last one for the season for us.
