"Cruise on the Jaques Cartier" Simonneeddy's Profile


Cruise on The St. Lawrence River from Brockville

We left from Joliette by bus at 8.30 am. We had dinner at Brockville at the Swiss Chalet then boarded the Jaques Cartier at 12.30pm.We spent the day aboard with 3 bus loads of seniors from Joliette P.Q. and other areas.

Brockville Ont.

Town Hall in center with bell tower.

Prescott International Bridge to U.S.A.

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.

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.

Disembarking at Morrissburg Ont.

From 12.30pm. to 7pm. we cruised the St. Lawrence River from Brockville to Cornwall return to Morrissburg. Our bus was waiting for us there. Home at 10pm.
