When I was a kid my grand father lived right near the canal in Thorold ON. My dad used to take me to watch the ships pass through the locks. Although I’ve long since moved out of the province I still love to watch these beasts…and 1000 foot lakers travel the seaway. .

Do these ships have bow thrusters to help keep straight through the locks?

So do I understand correctly that the Welland Canal is the only ship passage way from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario?
