Thanks for this video. Very descriptive and good information. I’ve taken my 46´ sailboat from NYC via Erie and Oswego canals then down bound the St. Lawrence to Cape Breton. Just bought a small trawler in Toronto and will skip the Welland as 3 folks needed. Taking the northern options to Lake Champlain. - there are not many video like yours. Cheers
Glad it was helpful! We really appreciate the feedback. Lots more of this kind of stuff coming - so help spread the word (the more subscribers we get the easier it is to get content like this. Oswego and Erie canals are in the plans for next season possibly.... stay tuned :)
I work on the ships and it's cool to see boats go through and he is correct it can be up to 24 hrs also he is correct in that port colbourne is a great hidden gem
I don’t know. On one hand it’s pretty cool going through like that but on the other hand you just pi**ed away about a million gallons of fresh water for UA-cam views.
I don't think that's how water works lol. Also I think each lock fills and drains 90 million liters per time but it's just refilled by gravity from the higher parts of the canal and it's all a cycle that's fed by lake erie

Cape Breton is beautiful, good on you.
TIP….We just call it “PORT”.
Grew up on the original canal in Welland.
The original canal before the bypass was much more scenic.
Great video.
It would have been great to have gone through the original stretch. Thanks for watching!

Totally! What a great spot. Love to see the big ships up close

Water is going to flow from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario regardless of whether the Welland Canal is working or not. Perhaps you've heard of Niagra Falls?
