On May 2nd, on our way home from Niagara Falls, we stopped in Thorold Ontario to see Lock 4 and Lock 7 of the Welland Canal. This canal is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and it raises ships 99.5 meters from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. While we were at Lock 4, we saw two ships passing each other in the lock. You can see them both in these photos. One was the John B. Aird, going upstream, and the other was going downstream. I don’t remember the downstream ship’s name. Look at the cars next to the ship and notice how high the Aird was raised in the lock!
