Good memories. I worked at a few marinas as a teenager, along the St Lawrence. Hadn't been back for about 25 years and it's been built up quite a bit.

Great Pix!!! Never been thru the Welland but reminded me of our trip up the Tenn-Tom from Palm Beach to Saugatuck Michigan....... The boat Unity we have seen regularly in the Traverse City are during the summer months... Lots of nice places there, Traverse City, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs and Leland... I believe the boat belongs to one of the Ford's.....(no relation)

Yes, it's owned by Ford. I'm not sure if it's corporate owned, or by an individual at Ford. Sorry I'm not related either.

Received some new images from Rodger...

This is the 147' Cracker Bay (formerly Campbell Bay), built in 2002 by Hakvoort. The sequence of images shows the arrival, fender deployment (notice fenders on the upper deck) and finally entering into the lock...

"Sophisticated Lady", a 64' Burger built in 1964. (formerly Bobbin'). The Trumpy is "Stately Lady', a 72' built 1974. Together, they both passed through Welland Canal last week. According to Rodger... the Trumpy had a hard time keeping up.

Here's the net batch of pics from Roger. This is Burger's "Tenacity". The daytime pictures were taken at Port Colburne Lock 8 and the night time pics were taken after coming out of Lock 1 at Port Weller.

Thanks Roger!
