(
Satellite, the lock was along today's English Park between Hanning Lane and Woodford Ave.)
The
Newburgh L&D made this
wicket dam and
L&D #47 obsolete.

posted three images with the comment: "With all the ongoing icy river posts and photos, I remembered a childhood winter in 1970. The M/V RAYMOND E. SALVATI (later OWEN CHILDRESS, MARGARET M. IGERT, JILL MARIE, RIVER HAWK, and finally DAVE CATHORALL) was the first towboat I ever rode on. L&D 46 (Owensboro, KY) Lockmaster Peter B. English sent me these photos of the SALVATI breaking ice above the dam. My father and I went down and watched from on top the bank for a long time that day until we could stand the cold no longer. If I remember correctly, Capt. Lonnie White was on watch. I will post more about this very special boat for me another time."
[English Park in the satellite link above was named after Peter English, the last lockmaster for #46.]
