Soo Locks, Part 2



This beautiful old building is made of cut rock, over a million of them.  It houses numerous turbines, powered by the the St Mary's River.  At water line, note the small boats.  Good place to fish.

The structure is just south of one of the southern up-bound lock on the US side, pix taken from the tour boat.


Approaching the lock, big freighter in next lock to the right.


Wave, smile, take pictures!
The viewing side of the platform pictured in my prior post.
Our tour boat is now in the lock, which will raise the boat 21', to the level of Lake Superior. 


Steel mill on Canadian side has been operating for 100+ years.


This Canadian cruise ship sailed past our campground before parking here.  It's probably headed into Lake Superior and stopping in Duluth.


Admiral Trish.  Aye aye, ma'am.  Our tour boat is sitting in one of the up locks, freighter in up lock behind the Admiral.  Some ships get mail, laundry, food, etc while in the Locks area.
