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.

IROQUOIS CANAL LOCK

Lock at Iroquois ont.

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

Control Dam at Iroquois Ont.

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
