Soo Locks, Sault Saint Marie
The Soo Locks (also Sault Locks) are one of the most important lanes to shipping in the Great Lakes, and the only means of moving ships between Lake Superior and the rest of the St. Lawrence Seaway. With seeming no effort, a 1004 foot long freighter is lifted or lowered the 21 feet difference between Lake Superior and Lake Huron in the St. Mary's River.

Sault Ste. Marie (/ˈsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ Soo Saint Marie) is a city on the St. Marys River in Ontario, Canada, close to the US-Canada border. It is the seat of the Algoma District and the third largest city in Northern Ontario, after Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the city of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River. In the 21st century, the two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side, and Huron Street (and former Ontario Secondary Highway 550B) on the Ontario side. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the Saint Mary's Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage that passes through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
French colonists referred to the rapids on the river as Les Saults de Ste. Marie and the village name was derived from that. The rapids and cascades of the St. Mary's River descend more than 20 feet from the level of Lake Superior to the level of the lower lakes. Hundreds of years ago, this slowed shipping traffic, requiring an overland portage of boats and cargo from one lake to the other. The entire name translates to Saint Mary's Rapids or Saint Mary's Falls. The word sault is pronounced [so] in French, and /ˈsuː/ in the English pronunciation of the city name.[7] Residents of the city are called Saultites.[8]
Sault Ste. Marie is bordered to the east by the Rankin and Garden River First Nation reserves, and to the west by Prince Township. To the north, the city is bordered by an unincorporated portion of Algoma District, which includes the local services boards of Aweres, Batchawana Bay, Goulais and District, Peace Tree and Searchmont. The city's census agglomeration, including the townships of Laird, Prince and Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional and the First Nations reserves of Garden River and Rankin, had a total population of 79,800 in 2011.
Native American settlements, mostly of Ojibwe-speaking peoples, existed here for more than 500 years. In the late 17th century, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission at the First Nations village. This was followed by development of a fur trading post and larger settlement, as traders, trappers and Native Americans were attracted to the community. It was considered one community and part of Canada until after the War of 1812 and settlement of the border between Canada and the US at the Ste. Mary's River. The US prohibited British traders from operating in its territory, and the areas separated by the river began to develop as two communities, both named Sault Ste. Marie.[9]

Soo Locks | Sault Ste Marie Michigan
The Soo Locks (sometimes spelled Sault Locks, but pronounced soo) are a set of parallel locks which enable ships to travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. They are located on the St. Marys River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, between the Upper Peninsula of the US state of Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario. They bypass the rapids of the river, where the water falls 21 feet (6.4 m). The locks pass an average of 10,000 ships per year,despite being closed during the winter from January through March, when ice shuts down shipping on the Great Lakes. The winter closure period is used to inspect and maintain the locks. Resources From Wikipedia Jadi Intinya karena perbedaan water level antara Lake Huron dan Lake Superior which is Lake Superior water levelnya lebih tinggi dibandingin Lake Huron maka boat or ship yg memasuki kedua lake ini harus diadjust water levelnya melalui locks untuk menghindari high rapid that can cause damage to the boat or ship... Interesting... #soolocksboattours #soolocksmichigan

CN International Railroad Bridge - Sault Ste Marie, MI (Drone Video)
Sault Sainte Marie, located in Northern Michigan, is one of several places where the Canadian National Railway (CN) runs trains across the border between the United States and Canada.
The “International Railroad Bridge” (previously owned by Wisconsin Central) is just over a mile long at 5,580 feet, spanning the St. Mary’s River. The single-track bridge connects the cities of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. This unique railroad bridge consists of various types of bridge structures and has multiple moving parts that allow lake freighters and other boat traffic to pass.
The Great Lakes freighter seen in this video is the Cason J Callaway. Here it can be seen exiting the Soo Locks and passing under the Canadian National railroad bridge to continue its journey westward along the St. Mary’s River toward Lake Superior.

The Ojibwe, the indigenous Anishinaabe inhabitants of the area, call this area Baawitigong, meaning place of the rapids. They used this as a regional meeting place during whitefish season in the St. Mary's Rapids. (The anglicized form of this name, Bawating, is used in institutional and geographic names in the area.)
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the Michigan city of the same name. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River.
