Quick and dirty . . . since forces are pulling me every which way these days. Between the Great Lakes, which Joe is warning me about, and the sixth boro, which I call home, is the Erie Canal. And some classy vessels populate it, like Governor Roosevelt. See my latest foto here. Thanks to Jason LaDue for this shot of a very substantial ice-breaking hull.
Lockport here assists Day Peckinpaugh. I hope to get to Lockport in spring.
More recently, Seneca was on the hard in Lyons. So . . . was she the one built in 1932?
Thanks to Jason for the fotos attributed to him. Here’s a foto of sister Canal Corp vessel Urger in the drydock last spring.

Roosevelt was built to break ice and squeeze under bridges/gates on the Canal.
