Welland Canal Lock #3, St Catharines, Ontario, Canada

Ships need to go through the locks to go from one lake to another. This lock is located near Niagara Falls and helps ships transit between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

Make a stop on image at 3.55 there is a structure in front and then at 3.57 there is nothing in front, do not say it's the same thing all the same. At 4.01 the chimney has rounded edges, the mat has disappeared and the two exhaust pipes are no longer there. it is not at all the same stern either as we see at 4.22. Not at all the same.

[@esosthompe]

The chimney we see at 4,11 min is not the same boat ?

[@RightInNiagara]

I'm sorry, but it is NOT the same stern of the same ship which is seen throughout the video.
The ship shown at 03:28 is NOT the same ship that is shown at 03:59!
Viewer esosthompe is correct.
The ALGOMA MONTREALAIS has a ROUNDED stern; yet, the video at 04:20, shows a STRAIGHT EDGE stern.
The ALGOMA MONTREALAIS has her pilothouse located at her bow (clearly seen at 00:23); yet, the video at 03:59 clearly shows a pilothouse at the REAR of the ship, in front of the chimney stack!!
These are the sterns of TWO DIFFERENT ships being mixed up here in this video.

@@RightInNiagara Thank you

What is the purpose of the yellow mast at 0:54?

[@ted3020]

It has a cable to keep ships from going into the lock gate.

[@MaxPivovarov]

Thank you, I already found a description of the mechanism. "ship arrester"

[@duxberry1958]

looks like 30-40 foot drop...

[@timothyshawnjohnston278]

The locks are ninety feet deep.

[@stevewaller8170]

Lock 3 is 45-48 foot drop. I hear different numbers from different sources. Seven locks to raise lower 326 feet. Average 46.57.

[@wendigo53]

@@stevewaller8170 Yes, the vertical drop is around 46 feet, it varies a bit because the water level in both sections varies a bit. In addition, there is a further 30 feet of water underneath the boat. So, when completely drained of water in the winter, the empty lock is about 80 feet deep top to bottom; the lower lock doors are about 80 feet high, and the upper lock doors are about 35 feet high.

what does that yellow boom do?

[@ted3020]

It stops the ships from hitting the wall in case they lose control.
