I remember a fascinating trip on a Tug & Barge-Unit (RELIANCE&PML9000) from Sault Ste. Marie to Hamilton through the Welland Canal in 2004. A remarkable experience. Unforgettable! Wonderful to see the Route again on Video. Thank you very much for this posting!
It took me a while to find this treasure of a video. I'm curious if there are any videos from a bridgemaster before the automation. I wanted to sail myself but decided family was more important. I hope one day ShipSimulator will allow me to give it a try. This video is awesome!
@SantaFe19484 Many tourists go to the lock 3 to watch the boat, that's where is the canal museum. Between lock 1 and 2 is good, easy access for pedestrian and without fence. Boat come and go to the canal at anytime of the day or night, check the seaway website for ship position and eta.
I remember when the Allanburg bridge came down while the ship went under it. It was funny. I live around the corner and people were jumping off the ship.
Are there any good public viewing places of the Canal near St Catherine's? What times of day and days of the week have most traffic? I would love to videotape ships going by if and when I have the chance.
@theedit12 I know where it is (made that point by describing the area around it) I also know where the screaming tunnel is (if he wants to talk about haunted places) My first time there we didn't have flashlights so we walked the tunnel by touch (don't do this as some of the beams have started to sag in places and people have begun hanging fishing line with hooks on them) I wish that St. Catharines town hall would fix up the area and try and stop the tunnel from collapsing (stupid brick wall)
@theedit123 The half sunken tunnel behind the GM plant The tunnel beside the flooded graveyard The tunnel where a train crashed inside of it The tunnel which runs into the (3rd) old canal No! what tunnel are you speaking of? The screaming tunnel?

I used To Sail with Upper Lakes Shipping and I grew up in this little place thanks for the memories.
Wow amazing job!!! :D
I used to work at Maple Leaf Mills in Port, and on "The Boats" with Upper Lakes Shipping. My dad worked at the Robin Hood flour mills. Memories..
I've been down it on a ship. Jesus it took a long time but it's interesting when you get to the locks.

i love welland i usually go to the banks of the canal and smoke a few joints and watch the ships go by with buddys
this is cool
@JetMechMA It lowers an heavy wire that will hopefully stop the ship if the ship fails to stop.
I think thats the Cuyahoga passing by at 2:30
@CanadianWorkDivers , well, at the speed its going, its hard to say but, to me it looks like the Cuyahoga

the canal smells fine, the river smells of duckweed though
