|  | IROQUOIS CANAL LOCK We went straight through as the water level of the river was the same below the locks and above due to spring melt of snow. |
Water level control dam at Iroquois In summer the level of the river is low above the dam so it is closed to raise the level so ships can navigate to the Great Lakes. This raises the water level west of the dam and the water level below the dam is lower Level therefor the need for the lock Level is controlled by the number of gates open or partially closed. |  | | Control Dam at Iroquois Ont. |

|  | Music and dancing aboard on 2nd deck Seniors were dancing the LINE dances |
The only ship we met It was carrying parts for wind mills made in Canada to make electricity in U.S.A. |  | |
