MY FIRST TIME AT THIS LOCK - MV GREENWING

[@HiddenJackpots]

The locks are so amazing and it's crazy how long they have been in operation. Lock 3 is a great viewing location, I can't believe this was your first time there for a video. The time lapse was great, can't wait to see the museum. Thanks for sharing!

[@bobblundell2281]

Another great video, i have been at lock 3 many times and had picnics there

[@DazVid70]

Great to see you are still filming !

[@LoriTalbot-du2qt]

Welcome to the neighborhood ! I've lived near this area for most of my life, and it's one of my favourite spots.

[@skeeter8868]

Great vidoe! Thank you. Looking forward to the museum tour! ✌

[@NigelHay]

Maybe this weekend I'll get up there and show everyone around

[@toddzoskey586]

Another great perspective video. A timelapse at night watching a ship go through would be amazing. The peace and quiet with just the subtle noise of the ship. It's good to see the crew interact with the people watching, I am going to have to go and check it out next spring or summer when I am in st kitts for the day.

New to your trips improves my geographic knowledge and living in Albany NY near the canal often witness these barges now I have been a guest. Your presentation was professional including your voiceover. Jack

In Dec. 1939 the German pocket battleship Graf Spe sought refuge in Montevideo, Uruguay. Three British cruisers waited outside. The captain scuttled his ship rather than surrender. Known as the Battle of the River Plate. There's even a movie made about it.

@@John-dm2ik Hi John. I will watch the movie soon. Not of German descent but I admire their intelligence and contribution to world history from cars to our landing on the moon. We brought over 100 prisoners to Alabama who were engineers and their talent and ours put us on the moon in the 60s. The Apollo program was the result. Jack

Now that was a great video

[@WendyKops]

Enjoyed your video very much! Thank you!

[@johnandrews3568]

My wife and I love going there to watch the ships pass through the locks. BTW, currently eight ships anchored out north of the canal. Quite a sight to see.

Great video and I too had no clue there was a viewing area behind the museum. Driven past it many times always say we have to visit museum but we haven’t so far. Definitely stopping now. Thks so much Nigel

[@celiajean7093]

Another well done video! Thank you! I enjoy these so much. Like you, didn't know there was a viewing area, I assumed all of that was restricted, too close to the ships and all.

[@skycvg]

My favorite part about the Welland Canal is the fact that you can literally get right up close and personal with the ships and crew. Don't worry, chat will fundraise your bail to get you out of the Welland Canal jail lol.

[@kevinbeyore9489]

Lock 3 is a great place to watch the ships go through , the three yellow things on the top of the lock wall on opposite side are electro magnets , designed to hold ship in place First tried on lock 8 , where they were ripped right out of the wall , back to the drawing board lol

[@John-dm2ik]

I was told it was told those things worked by suction, not magnets.

[@kevinbeyore9489]

You were right , auto mooring system , many years ago I worked at lock eight and was told by someone who should have known it was magnetic , I stand corrected ​@@John-dm2ik

[@RitzBitz96]

​@@John-dm2ik Correct, they're basically huge suction cups. They hold the ship in place via vacuum

@Lake Erie Vlogger will you catch the cuyahoga if she comes to Port Colburn to the breakers?

[@NigelHay]

A must! I'll take a day off work if I have too

It’s too bad about the typical Canadian government’s overreaction with regard to security in cases where it’s unwarranted (ridiculous 8 foot iron bars 5 inches apart)And where it’s really necessary…there’s nothing.
