At Lock 3 of the Welland Canal System in St Catharines, Ontario, a viewing platform is provided for visitors to the museum. From this platform they can watch a ship make its way into the lock in order to get to Lake Erie or Lake Ontario.As the ship nears, it is amazing to watch such a large vessel maneuver itself into an eighty foot wide space. The ship will travel at a speed similar to that of walking until it is locked in allowing the water to rise or lower in order for the ship to continue to its destination.The viewing platform at Lock 3 of the Welland Canal System at the St Catharines Museum with a large bulk carrier ship approaching, Welland Canals Centre, Great Lakes-St Lawrence Seaway, St Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
