FIRST SHIP LOVE For me, it all started April 10, 2022 when my husband suggested that we go check out the Welland Canal. Now I'm going to admit something, I went begrudgingly. I had seen Mckeil Spirit at Turning Point in Rochester and it was cool but why did I want to spend my day at some canal? CCGS Griffon downbound out of Lock 1 answered that question and I have been in love with the canal, the ships and the people that make it all work ever since! |

This appears to be taken from an upbound ship soon after it departed the lock.

[I included this one to show how much traffic there is on the Welland Canal. In addition to an articulated tug barge (ATB) moored in the background, another one is downbound. This also shows that ATBs are evidently becoming more common.] |

I've never seen water spill over a downstream gate like that before on any lock.

Spilling water is evidently not a rare occurrence.

Federal Oshima gliding silently toward Lock 1 on her last seaway passage before retirement from FedNav.
[Some comments indicate she was in service 24 years for FedNav and that she was the lead ship in her class.] |

Viking Octantis up in lock 1 in the Welland canal. Look at all those people - 7.21.23 |
I include this one because one doesn't see the gates partially open very often.

We made a special trip to the Welland canal this evening to catch Imke (7.27.23). Here she's up on lock 1 getting a quick Seaway inspection. You can see the inspectors to the left.
Patti Kingswood: Thanks for the photos. She is quite unique with only 1/2 her cabin underneath cutaway. |

Amy commented on Patti's comment
It is too accommodate her crane. |

Is that some type of signal indicator below the VHF 75 sign on top of the control tower?
