Great Lakes Sailing - Welland Canal HD time-lapse
The Welland Canal is a ship canal in Canada that runs 42 km (27.0 miles) from Port Colborne, Ontario on Lake Erie to Port Weller, Ontario on Lake Ontario. As part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, the canal allows ships to traverse the Niagara Escarpment and avoid Niagara Falls.
FOR THE SPRINKLERS QUESTION HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:
Hogging is a term used when a vessel is bent up in the middle due to any number of factors. On the Great Lakes this happens to vessels in hot weather where the upper part is heated more than the submerged part. That's why you see boats with sprinkler systems spraying cool water over the decks to reduce this hogging.
FOR THE YELLOW BOOM THAT LOWER IN THE FRONT OF THE SHIP HERE IS YOUR ANSWER (COPY FROM COMMENT):
It's a safety check to prevent damage to the lock gates by making sure no part of the bow extends over the gates which could cause damage to the gates when the ship is lowered. In the down position, the sensor cable on the yellow gate is slightly below the top of the gates. If it touches anything in it's travel then some part of the bow is too far forward and the ship will have to reverse slightly .

Welland, Ontario: Downtown Driving Tour (February, 2019)
Our driving tour of downtown Welland, Ontario takes into town going west on East Main Street. After crossing the Welland Bridge, we loop around to return on Division Street. Division meets up with Main Street again going eastbound. We end the tour after going under the East Main Street Tunnel under the existing Welland Canal.
Welland, Ontario is a city of 52,000 that was first settled in 1788. It was incorporated as a village in 1858 and as a city in 1917. The location is less than 25 km from Niagara Falls and around 30 kilometres from Fort Erie (and Buffalo, New York).
From downtown Toronto, the distance is 134 KM by road. Welland is directly south of downtown Toronto but Lake Ontario gets in the way.
The Welland Canal Bridge 13 dominates the view in the downtown core. Opened in 1930, the last ship to pass underneath was in 1972. Since, it has been permanently locked in the lowered position as the Canal was rerouted around the city. The bridge is 71 metres or 232 feet in length and also known as the Welland Main Street Bridge or just the Welland Bridge.

Conquering Niagara: The Story of the Welland Canal
Combining rare archival footage with remarkable new footage of the Canal as never seen before, this riveting documentary takes viewers on a journey of discovery through its rich history.
From a Jesuit monks first glimpse of the majestic Niagara Falls to a deadly battle between rival factions in the 1840s. From Fenian cross-border raids to wartime acts of sabotage. From a competition between rival nations for economic dominance of the St. Lawrence corridor, to the beneficial partnership behind the St. Lawrence Seaway.
It took the fortitude of one man, William Hamilton Merrit, to overcome the natural barrier of Niagara Falls and link the heartland of a continent with the waiting markets of the world. In so doing, the Welland Canal would take its place among the greatest achievements the world has ever known.

Welland Canal Centre at Lock 3, St Catherines Ontario, Canada
Pierre Repooc Productions - URL:
The Welland Canal Centre at Lock 3 is a great introduction to the Welland Canal. First check the shipping schedule on the TV screen, which will list when the next vessel will go through Lock 3 and plan accordingly. If you can start with the movie explaining the building of the Welland Canals, do so.
A ship will take about 45 minutes to transverse the lock so my video uses time lapse photography to speed this up.
The centre and viewing stands are wheel chair accessible and the cost of the centre is a free will donation.
The other seven locks can be viewed also but at Lock 3 there is a raised viewing stand to give a better vantage point.

Welland Canal, Lock 7 - Canada HD Travel Channel
Welland Canal Lock 7 is located in the city of Thorold in the province of Ontario, Canada. The Welland Canal connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario. He has a long history and is older than the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. In January 1824, the merchant William Hamilton Merritt founded Welland Canal Company. The first channel with 40 wood locks was opened in 1829 after a construction time from five years. The 109 ft long wooden locks offered space for the then 98-feet sailing ships and the floodgates were opened with muscular strength.
In the course of time the channel has been changed many times. Today's modern canal was opened in August 1932. It is 26 mi long and has 8 locks which allow the large ships to bridge a difference in height of 326.5 ft. Today the locks are traversable for ships with a maximum boat length of 740 ft.
Welland Canal Lock 7 is the southernmost lift over the Niagara Escarpment. Here you can observe the ship lifting at close hand. The vessels, often more than 720 ft long, fit precise to the inch into the lock basin.
In time-lapse video you can see how the self-unloading bulk carrier Canadian Transport- passes through Lock 7. The Canadian Transport is about 730 ft long, and was built in the Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, Ontario. Powered by two 8-cylinder MAN diesel engines she can reach a nominal speed of 13 knots.

Welland Canal Lock 7 liegt in der Stadt Thorold in der Provinz Ontario, Kanada.
Der Wellandkanal verbindet den Eriesee mit dem Ontariosee. Er hat eine lange Geschichte und ist älter als der Suezkanal und der Panamakanal. Im Januar 1824 gründete der Kaufmann William Hamilton Merritt die Welland Canal Company. Im Jahre 1829 wurde der erste Kanal mit 40 Holzschleusen nach einer Bauzeit von fünf Jahren eröffnet. Die 33,5 m langen Holzschleusen wurden mit Muskelkraft geöffnet und boten Platz für die damals 30 m langen Segelschiffe.
Im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Kanal mehrfach verändert. Der heutige moderne Kanal wurde im August 1932 eröffnet. Er ist 42 km lang und hat 8 Schleusen die es der Großschifffahrt ermöglichen einen Höhenunterschied von 99,5 Meter zu überwinden. Heute sind die Schleusen für Schiffe mit einer Maximallänge von 225,70 m befahrbar.
Welland Canal Lock 7 ist die südlichste Schleuse über die Niagara Schichtstufe. Hier kann man hautnah Schiffshebungen beobachten. Die oft über 200 m langen Schiffe passen zentimetergenau in die Schleusenbecken.
Im Video in Zeitraffer sehen Sie wie der Massengutfrachter Canadian Transport Lok 7 passiert. Die Canadian Transport ist ca. 222 m lang wurde in den Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, Ontario gebaut. Angetrieben von zwei MAN 8-Zylinder-Dieselmotoren kann sie eine nominelle Geschwindigkeit von 13 Knoten erreichen.
